  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. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The ratio of the BPP of the real beam to that of an ideal Gaussian beam at the same wavelength is known as M 2 ("M squared"). The M 2 for a Gaussian beam is one. All real laser beams have M 2 values greater than one, although very high quality beams can have values very close to one.

  4. Beam parameter product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_parameter_product

    The ratio of the BPP of an actual beam to that of an ideal Gaussian beam at the same wavelength is denoted M 2 ("M squared"). This parameter is a wavelength-independent measure of beam quality. The general wave equation, assuming paraxial approximation, yields:

    The M-Squared Breese is a large family of high-wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration, tricycle gear, ultralight aircraft produced by M-Squared Aircraft of St. Elmo, Alabama in kit form, for amateur construction.

    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).

  8. Metre per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second_squared

    Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s 2, m·s −2 or ms −2, , or less commonly, as (m/s)/s. [ 1 ] As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

  9. 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]
