A simple method for reconstructing the spatial parameters of a laser beam, based on the transport-of-intensity equation, is presented. Registration of cross-section intensity distributions in several planes was carried out using a single CMOS camera. The processing of the experimental measurements with the help of specialized software helped to reconstruct all of the spatial parameters, namely, the radius and position of the waist, Rayleigh length, angular divergence, quality parameter M2 The method was compared with measurements made according to the international standard ISO 11146 and showed that the difference in the spatial parameters is 10% or less, which shows good agreement.
