How to find Gaussian beam waist?
To find the Gaussian beam waist ω0, is it just 2*pi*wavelength?
Probably not but I know the Rayleigh range is [itex]\frac{\pi \omega_0^2}{\lambda}[/itex] But I'm only given power, lambda, and 1/e2 diameter. I need either w0 or z0 but I don't have either one of them. I also know that w0 is where the intensity goes down to 1/e2 but can't find the formula. -------- Update: never mind got it. |
