the reason for divergence of laser beam is basically diffraction which causes bending of light at the edges and consequently divergence

Why is the size of a laser or electron beam measured in milliradians?

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


Can you put a LED inside a laser housing to focus it into a beam just like a laser diode would?

No. Unless the LED is specifically a laser, you can not make it focus like a laser by putting it in a housing. A laser produces coherent light, which is why it acts like a beam. A normal LED is not coherent, and you can not make it so. Although you can not make a collimated incoherent light beam able to travel similar distances as a collimated laser beam, you can collimate incoherent light into a beam which would travel some distance with a small amount of divergence.

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 are Laser safety procedures?

Laser Safety procedures are often specific to a particular laser installation. In general, however, the following apply:don't look directly at the laser beamknow where the laser beam path isenclose the beam path as much as possibleensure that warning signs and labels are properly placednever point a laser beam at a personuse appropriate protective eye wear if exposure to a Class 3B or class 4 beam is possiblewear protective clothing is exposure to a Class 4 beam is possiblenever stare into a Class 2 laser beamensure that laser users receive adequate laser safety training
