Calculation of the divergence angle of a laser diode
Use this Laser Beam Divergence Calculator to calculate beam divergence angle, spot size at distance, beam diameter growth, Gaussian diffraction-limited divergence, Rayleigh range, beam waist, and beam quality factor M 2. Note that it is not a local property of a beam, for a certain position along its path, but a property of the beam as. Beam Divergence: While laser beams are assumed to be collimated, they always diverge to a certain degree.
