I have a small Chinese green laser pointer. It produces a very bright collimated beam, roughly 2mm diameter with its existing optics. I would like to know two things: (1) how to expand the laser pointer beam while maintaining collimation, (2) how to produce a collimated beam of any arbitrary size from the bare laser diode chip, for example from a Nichia NDG7H75E.
These are multi-transverse mode laser diodes. Should their emissions be spatially filtered before collimating?
