Beam width measurements
performed at the waist.
Ratio of the total
power/energy in the beam
to the total input
power/energy.
Full angle of the far-field
envelope formed by the
increasing beam diameter
or widths.
Where fl is the focal length of a
focusing optic and d
σ,fl
is the
beam diameter at the focus.
Total energy of a beam
divided by its cross sectional
