Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The optical centerline for a lens system; the line passing through the centers of curvature of the optical surfaces of a lens.

Beam

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A collection of rays that may be parallel, convergent, or divergent.

Beam Bender

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

A hardware assembly containing an optical device, such as a mirror, capable of changing the direction of a laser beam; used to repoint the beam, and in "folded," compact laser ...

Beam Diameter

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

The distance between diametrically opposed points in the cross section of a circular beam where the intensity is reduced by a factor of 1/e (0.368) of the peak level (for safety ...

Beam Divergence

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

Angle of beam spread measured in radians or milliradians (1 milliradian = 3.4 minutes-of-arc or approximately 1 mil). For small angles where the cord is approximately equal to the ...

Beam Expander

Industrial machinery; Laser equipment

An optical device that increases beam diameter while decreasing beam divergence (spread). In its simplest form consists of two lenses, the first to diverge the beam and the second ...
