Claim 0:
1. A method for calibrating a laser eye surgery system, comprising:
a. scanning a focused laser beam in a trajectory over a target via a scanning mirror, the target having a plurality of lines;
b. sensing laser light reflected or scattered by a first line of the target at time T1 when the laser beam intersects a first edge of the first line to determine an actual laser beam position;
c. sensing a position of the scanning mirror at time T1;
d. repeating steps A-C, the laser beam intersecting subsequent lines at subsequent times;
e. generating a table of digitized actual laser beam position values versus sensed scanning mirror position values at time T1 and the subsequent times; and
f. calibrating the laser eye surgery system based at least in part on the table generated in step E.
