M2, or Beam Propagation Ratio, is a value that indicates how close a laser id to being a single mode TEM00 beam. This in turn relates to how small a spot a laser can be focused.
For a laser propagating through space,the equation for the divergence,Θ,of a pure Gaussian TEM00 unfocused beam is given by
Θ00=4λ/ЛD00
D00 is the waist size of the beam,and λ is the wavelength
Actual beams with addition mode often start with a larger beam waist,
D0,and/or have a faster divergence Θ0.In this case equation becomes
Θ0=M24λ/ЛD0
where Θ0 and D0 are the divergence and widthe of a higher mode beam and M2 is greater than 1 and is named the "Beam Propagation Ratio" per the ISO 11146 standard.
When a pure Gaussian laser beam is focused,the width of the focused spot is defined by:
d00=4λf/ЛD00,
where d00 is the ideal focused spot width,f is the focal length of the lens,and D00 is the width of the input beam waist and is placed one focal length from the lens as shown
When a distorted or multimode is focused ,is
d0=M2 4λf/ЛD0作者: jackeewu2009 时间: 2009-2-9 21:29
M2,是描述的一个激光器对于TEM00的接近程度。越是TEM00,激光器聚焦性能越好。
M2大还是小,关键是你要用激光器做什么了。我认为,如果需要聚焦加工,那当然是越接近1越好,
如果用准分子激光器加工,那用平顶光斑,那M2大点还好些作者: jackeewu2009 时间: 2009-2-9 21:35
