Internal arrester beam clipper

摘要

An internal arresting beam clipper having a cylindrically shaped housing of predetermined length and a clipping mirror located at one end thereof. The clipping mirror is optically aligned with an out-of-round beam as well as being positioned at a preselected angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The beam clipper removes the out-of-round portion of the beam by reflecting that portion of the beam against the wall of the housing. The housing acts as a heat sink and absorbs the rejected radiation that has been reflected thereto by the clipping mirror with the bulk of the beam being passed through the clipping mirror and onto a target.
