  2. M squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_squared

    The diameter of the multimode beam is then M times that of the embedded Gaussian beam everywhere, and the divergence is M times greater, but the wavefront curvature is the same. The multimode beam has M 2 times the beam area but 1/M 2 less beam intensity than the embedded beam. This holds true for any given optical system, and thus the minimum ...

  3. Beam parameter product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_parameter_product

    When measuring the beam parameter product and M 2, one uses the D4σ or "second moment" width of the beam to determine both the radius of the beam's waist and the divergence in the far field. [ 2 ] The BPP can be easily measured by placing an array detector or scanning-slit profiler at multiple positions within the beam after focusing it with a ...

  4. M² - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M²

    M 2 or m 2 may refer to: Square metre (m 2), an SI measure of area; M squared (M 2), a measure of laser beam quality; M 2 (album), by Marcus Miller; m 2 (artist ...

  5. Square metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_metre

    Comparison of 1 square metre with some Imperial and metric units of area. The square metre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or square meter (American spelling) is the unit of area in the International System of Units (SI) with symbol m 2. [1] It is the area of a square with sides one metre in ...

    The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2). The are (a) is a unit of area equal to 100 m 2. The decare (daa) is a unit of area equal to 1000 m 2. The hectare (ha) is a unit of area equal to 10 000 m 2 (0.01 km 2).

  7. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Thus areas can be measured in square metres (m 2), square centimetres (cm 2), square millimetres (mm 2), square kilometres (km 2), square feet (ft 2), square yards (yd 2), square miles (mi 2), and so forth. [13] Algebraically, these units can be thought of as the squares of the corresponding length units.

    The former Weights and Measures office in Seven Sisters, London Units of measurement, Palazzo della Ragione, Padua. A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

  9. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    The square of an integer may also be called a square number or a perfect square. In algebra, the operation of squaring is often generalized to polynomials, other expressions, or values in systems of mathematical values other than the numbers. For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1) 2 = x 2 ...
