The equation for the divergence of a pure Gaussian TEM 00 unfocused beam propagating through space is given by =, (1) where D 00 is the diameter of the beam waist, and λ is the wavelength. Higher mode beams often start with a larger beam waist, D 0, and/or have a faster divergence Θ 0. In this case Equation (1) becomes
The beams are then overlapped on amaterial surface to form an interference pattern. If the power of the laser beam is sufficiently high, material removal can occur at the interference maxima through processes such as remelting, evaporation and ablation, while the material at the interference minima remains mostly intact. In this way, a large ...
Two overlapping antenna beams are formed, which are steered in slightly different directions, usually such that they overlap at the half-power point (-3 dB-point) of the beams. [2] By comparing the relative amplitude of the pulse in the two beams, its position in the beams can be determined with an accuracy dependent on the signal-to-noise ...
Upon post-exposure photolithographic processing, a photoresist pattern corresponding to the periodic intensity pattern emerges. For 2-beam interference, the fringe-to-fringe spacing or period is given by / (), where λ is the wavelength and θ is the angle between the two interfering waves. The minimum period achievable is then half the ...
Such materials have the potential to simplify the design of high brightness green lasers. Neodymium glass (Nd:Glass) laser ~1.062 μm (silicate glasses), ~1.054 μm (phosphate glasses) Flashlamp, laser diode Used in extremely high-power (terawatt scale), high-energy multiple beam systems for inertial confinement fusion.
An axicon transforms a laser beam into a ring shaped distribution. [1] They can be convex or concave and be made of any optical material. The combination with other axicons or lenses allows a wide variety of beam patterns to be generated. It can be used to turn a Gaussian beam into a non-diffractive Bessel-like beam. [2]
A diffractive beam splitter can generate either a 1-dimensional beam array (1xN) or a 2-dimensional beam matrix (MxN), depending on the diffractive pattern on the element. The diffractive beam splitter is used with monochromatic light such as a laser beam, and is designed for a specific wavelength and angle of separation between output beams.
Proton beam writing (or p-beam writing) is a direct-write lithography process that uses a focused beam of high energy protons to pattern resist material at nanodimensions. [11] The process, although similar in many ways to direct writing using electrons , nevertheless offers some interesting and unique advantages.
