There are optics that can make beams with thicknesses less than a few Microns in diameter. Table top, maybe not... Also not in your budget either.
A search about this might help. :undecided:

That's wavelength... not the physical diameter. Search.
exactly, 445nm is blue, 532nm is green, 650nm is red
see: Visible spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note: use the forum search function for questions before you ask members to do the work for you -- that is the accepted practice of the forum --nobody likes to spend time spoon feeding new members who can easily find the answers themselves. A simple "what are nm" in search would have answered all your questions

@ laputa are you really a bitch or have you just read swift? floating islands etc.
Wait the flapper flap my head with the blown bladder.
I know some about wavelenght, but everywhere there are the same measurements - nm and milliwatt - and nobody say about the beam diameter. Thats the optical measurement i think, but seem nobody needs that value.

Per happens meaning you a divergence of beams lasers go?
When chance we connecting, measuring pointy parts as cones be photons go runs as small fangles throw.
Excuse me sir, but I speak Jive.

Well... That certainly clears everything up! :crackup:

That's what SHE said!
beam diameter calculator: pseudonomen137's JScript Diameter Calculator
Beam divergence calculator: pseudonomen137's JScript mRad Calculator
Also see: Laser beam profiler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Come on simple searches return this type of information.
All laser manufacturers and most laser shops/resllers list specs which include: Beam Dia.at aperture in mm amd Beam Divergence in mRad
Look at the specs of a given laser on any good laser web site and you will see same listed---example PL-E V3 Mechanical switch 500mW Green Lasers 532nm, focusable, jetlasers. which is typical.
All you need to measure the diameter at aperture or and whatever distance from the aperature is a ruler---very simple.
What is it you actually want to know or do?
The smaller the diameter the more concentrated the output power -- like starting a fire with a magnifying glass concentrating the sunlight to a small point.

Why do you want to know, do you have a really small host or something

Hey, there's no need to make fun of the guy's... um... er... big tires on his truck. :crackup:
Thank you ecap.
The problem was that in searching lasers for buy, i found only sites with no value of diameter, and i was wondering that was usance because the measurements they give was enough to understand the diameter with maybe some strange calculations. But was only a miss information of these most sellers.
For the fun things, i see you like swift like everybody, read the island of laputa chapter, and you understand the silliness of modern science (today school injected) that he understand 400 years ago.
Bye
