Abstract

A process for producing calibration markers directly on the photoconductive surface of video camera tubes has been developed. This process includes the use of either a pulsed Nd:YAG laser, operating at 1.06 μm with a 9.5-ns pulse width (full width at half maximum), or a continuous helium-neon laser. The Nd:YAG laser was constrained to operate in the TEM_oo spatial mode by intercavity aperturing. The use of this technology has produced an increase of up to 50 times the accuracy of geometric measurement. This is accomplished by a decrease in geometric distortion and an increase in geometric scaling. The process by which these laser-formed video calibrations are made will be discussed.
