I How to narrow a beam to 1 mm diameter?

AI Thread Summary
To narrow a 10 mm diameter laser beam to 1 mm, two lenses can be used. The first lens should have a focal length ten times greater than the second lens, such as 100 mm and 10 mm. Position the lenses so they share a common focal point to achieve the desired beam diameter. This method effectively focuses and then collimates the beam. Proper lens selection and arrangement are crucial for optimal results.

How to narrow d=10 mm beam to d=1 mm
I have a collimated beam from a laser diode d= 10 mm and want to narrow it down to 1 mm. I suppose to use a lense to focus it and then use a lense to collimate it with d=1mm but this lense must have focus distance of 1 mm?? Are there such lenses? Or I must do it in other way?

You can do it with 2 lenses. The first has to have 10 times the focal length of the second, for example 100 mm and 10 mm.
Place them so they share a focal point.

Hello ! As we know by definition that: "Constructive interference occurs when the phase difference between the waves is an even multiple of π (180°), whereas destructive interference occurs when the difference is an odd multiple of π." But my question is in the case of destructive interference, what happens to the energy carried by the two electromagnetic waves that annihilate, the energy carried by the electromagnetic waves also disappears, or is transformed into some other type of...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
