The magnetic field and electric field together make up the laser's
optical radiation, so a photodiode and a DVM can measure the magnetic
field quite accurately. Both fields alternate in direction at roughly
500 THz for a red laser, so low-frequency measurement magnetic
measurement techniques aren't too useful.
