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
