Abstract
We present a real-time method to determine the beam propagation ratio M-2 of laser beams. The all-optical measurement of modal amplitudes yields M-2 parameters conform to the ISO standard method. The experimental technique is simple and fast, which allows to investigate laser beams under conditions inaccessible to other methods. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
