Abstract

The collimated output of a 70 milli-watt helium-neon laser, formed by a 3/4 inch exit pupil, and directed to a target a few thousand feet away, will be just visible against a background illuminated by the direct sun. Its intensity will be low enough for complete safety, except for extended observation directly into the collimator. The spot it forms on target can be easily photographed in exposures of one-one hundredth of a second.
