Chapter 27 Problem 103GP

Question

The diameter of a collimated laser beam can be expanded or reduced by using two converging lenses, with focal lengths \(f_{1} \text { and } f_{2}\), mounted a distance \(f_{1}+f_{2}\) from each other, as shown in Figure What is the ratio of the two beam diameters, \(\left(d_{1} / d_{2}\right)\), expressed in terms of the focal lengths?

Solution

Step 1 of 4

The figure shows a beam of diameter  that passes through two lenses that are separated by the sum of their focal lengths. The lenses increase the diameter of the beam to .
