Problem 6.1: Gaussian beam through a thin lens (5P) A collimated NeHe laser with wavelength ? = 633nm and beam diameter ? = 2mm is focused by a thin lens with focal length ? = 6mm. 10cm behind the thin lens is a spherical screen placed. The screen has the same curvature as the wave front at this position. The propagation direction of the beam is in z-direction and it’s ? = 0 at the lens’ position. (a) Draw a...
