Collimated Beam Laser

What are Collimated Beam Lasers?

A collimated beam is a beam of light with parallel rays that spreads minimally as it travels. The rays in a collimated beam move in the same direction, without dispersing, and the beam’s energy is spread evenly along its path.
Collimated beams are useful in many industries, including engineering, scientific research, and medical applications.

In reality, no collimated beam has a perfectly constant diameter as it moves. The divergence of a collimated beam is the rate at which its diameter changes. The divergence depends on the light source and the collimator. To minimize divergence, you can increase the focal length of the collimating system or make the light source smaller. However, increasing the focal length means the system needs to be further from the source, which can decrease the beam’s power.
