Hello all.
I am in the process of designing a mechanism for collimating laser diodes for a personal project.
I don't have training in optics so I am stuck with this problem:
I need to determine the focal length of a lens that can be used to collimate a laser beam with divergence 45 degrees (full angle).
I also need to determine what the distance is between the laser diode emitter and the lens surface.
The goal is to get a beam roughly 10mm diameter with a minimal divergence angle.
Attached is a diagram I drew which should make the problem clear.
I haven't been able to find the information I need on the internet.
If any of you can tell me how I can determine this, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
Have a great day. :)
