• Beam diameter — The beam diameter or beam width of an electromagnetic beam is the diameter along any specified line that is perpendicular to the beam axis and intersects it. Since beams typically do not have sharp edges, the diameter can be obtained in many… …   Wikipedia

• Gaussian function — In mathematics, a Gaussian function (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss) is a function of the form::f(x) = a e^{ { (x b)^2 over 2 c^2 } }for some real constants a > 0, b , c > 0, and e ≈ 2.718281828 (Euler s number).The graph of a Gaussian is a… …   Wikipedia

• Beam divergence — The beam divergence of an electromagnetic beam is an angular measure of the increase in beam diameter with distance from the optical aperture or antenna aperture from which the electromagnetic beam emerges. The term is relevant only in the far… …   Wikipedia

• Laser beam profiler — A laser beam profiler captures, displays, and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path. Since there are many types of lasers ultraviolet, visible, infrared, continuous… …   Wikipedia
