I have do some trigonometric calculation, to calculate the expansion of a laser beam, knowing the distance of the "target".
I'm not very good in math, then if I have done any error, please let me know
Sorry for the very bad schematic beam, I have drawn it very large to simplify the read.
I have divided the beam in three parts: two equals triangle and a little straight rectangle, that is the ideal beam.
The expansion is the summation of those three parts at the end, when the beam hit the target.
See the pic.
