1 unit results in a beam diameter: ( )1 D

2nd unit reduces the diameter again by four, so the result is ( ) 2 D

1 unit results in a beam diameter: 2.D= 21D
2nd unit enlarges the diameter again by two, so the result is 2.2.D=22D
Therefore, N units result in 2ND.

Note that when 2ND= lens diameter, no further enlargement takes place.
