Abstract
Apparatus for the alignment of optical beams includes an optical beam; a beam splitter in the path of the optical beam; the beam splitter splits the optical beam into at least two sub-beams paths; a first one of the at least two sub-beam paths is directed through one or more optical devices for amplification of lateral shift alignment; a second one of the at least two sub-beams is directed through one or more optical devices for amplification of angular alignment; the first and the second sub-beams impinge on first and second screens.
