Formulas for numericals

(idk if these are correct, should verify them)

  • Degree of coherence = $\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\frac{\lambda}{\Delta \lambda}$
    • Δλ: bandwidth
  • Angular divergence θ=1.22λ/D=d/2l
    • d: spot size
    • l: distance of spot
    • D: diameter of beam/aperature size
    • λ: wavelength of light
  • d=fθ
    • f:focal length
  • Intensity I=Power/Area of spot
  • θ=$\frac{d₂-d₁}{2(l₂-l₁)}$
    • θ: Angle of beam divergence
    • d₁, d₂ are diameters of laser at distances l₁, l₂
  • Pulse or Coherence Time T=1/Δv
  • Coherence length: l=c*coherence time = c/Δv = $\frac{\lambda ^2}{\Delta \lambda}$
  • Line width: Δλ
  • Quality factor Q=λ/Δλ
    • Coherent length l_c=Qλ₀
    • Coherent time T_c=Q/ν₀ or l_c/c
