Abstract

The light emitted by a laser is confined to a rather narrow cone. But, when
the beam propagates outward, it slowly diverges or fans out. For an
electromagnetic beam, beam divergence is the angular measure of the increase
in the radius or diameter with distance from the optical aperture as the beam
emerges. Like all electromagnetic beams, lasers are subject to divergence, which
is measured in mill radians (mrad) or degrees. For many applications, a lower
divergence beam is preferable.
