Mirror Alignment Procedure

The mirror alignment procedure goal is to first align the visible red beam with the invisible CO2

laser beam then use the red beam as the primary indicator for mirror alignment. The idea is that

when the laser is not aligned, you will have two black dots from the test fires in the top and bottom

positions. The red laser pointer is aligned with the invisible laser pointer to give you immediate

feedback on the mirror, the black dots will be exactly on top and this axis is aligned. The goal is to

have the two black dots overlap exactly. It is not necessary that the dots be in the center of the

mirror but they should be somewhere on the mirror.
