Abstract
A laser assembly (12) for providing an output beam (18) includes a gain medium (16) and a laser housing (20) that retains the gain medium (16). The gain medium (16) generates the output beam (18) when electrical power is directed to the gain medium (16). The laser housing (20) includes a reference redirector (20A) that is used to a reference datum to check the alignment of the output beam (18) relative to the laser housing (20). The reference redirector (20A) can be a mirror that is integrated into the laser housing.
