Best Answer

The size of a laser or electron beam is measured in milliradians. This is because they are subject to divergence.

What are the differences between a free-electron laser and a conventional laser?

Free-electron lasers were invented at Stanford University by John Madey. While these lasers share the same optical properties as conventional lasers, the main difference between the two is the principal they use to form the beam.


What is a laser modulator used for?

A laser modulator is used to change modulate a beam of light (or laser). The easiest way that they modulate the laser, or light beam, is by changing the rate at which the laser is emitted from the source.

Laser beam needs electricity or not?

All lasers require electricity to operate. The laser beam that results from operation of a laser is electromagnetic radidation, not electricity.


What is the shape of the path of a laser beam?

Since a laser beam is light all moving on the same direction, the path of a laser beam will be a straight line, inless it is redirected by a reflective surface.


You wonder if high voltage and current can be deflected or reflected and similar to a laser beam from a Free Electron Laser machine?

A laser beam is a form of electromagnetic radiation, in the visible spectrum. At a lower frequency there are microwaves, which can be directed in narrow beams, and can be intercepted by an antenna and then converted back to an electric current. I don't recognise your idea of controlling beams of high voltage however.
