is it possible to measure the magnetic flux / magnetic field from a laser? If so what type of equipment would I need

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.Cheers,
