16.711 Lecture 1 Review of Wave optics • Power of a Gaussian beam Total Power: The ratio of the power carried within a circle of radius : The power contained within a circle of radius 86% of the total power. 99% of the total power is contained within a circle of radius .
16.711 Lecture 1 Review of Wave optics • Beam radius of a Gaussian beam is the spot size. is the waist radius. when 86% energy is confined in the cone.
16.711 Lecture 1 Review of Wave optics • depth of focus is the spot size. is the waist radius. The gaussian has minimum width at . The axial distance for the beam width is called depth of focus.
