Tool Description

A beam expander enlarges the laser beam diameter by a magnification factor while reducing the divergence angle. This tool supports both Keplerian and Galilean configurations, calculating lens focal lengths, spacing, and output beam parameters.

Core Formulas

Magnification
M = f₂ / f₁
Lens Spacing (Keplerian)
d = f₁ + f₂
Lens Spacing (Galilean)
d = f₂ − |f₁|(f₁ < 0)
Output Divergence
θ_out = θ_in / M
