That's correct, the wavelength is the theoretical cut off. However it is a based on the wavelength and its M2 factor. You would have to have both a perfect M2 beam, and a very short focal length lens to get anywhere near the spot size equivalent of its wavelength. Also the rayleigh length would be extremely short.

Edit: Off topic. Found this interesting if anyone wants to take a look

Yes, maybe you could get close with a bdr-209 but not so much with our favorite multi modes, although going by the naked eye it looks like you could focus the waist down to seemingly an infinitely small diameter, but in reality it's nowhere near the width of the beams spectral wavelength and infinitely small is only valid as an abstract concept.

A BDR-209 would be a good contender for a laser already in a most of members possession for sure.
A high quality gas laser or dpss would also be good. The best way to get a smaller beam waist is to expand the beam first before focusing.
 
I like those enclosures. I bet just like most Kvant products, they are quite pricey.

Edit: Lol, the one shown is £3231.00 / $4489.84
 
On a less serious note:

We live in a monkey see, monkey do world, apparently :

Damn their cheapest laser costs like $1k, and it has a lower output power than my $50 gatling laser. To be fair it has galvos and a microcontroller and stuff, but still seems wayy overpriced:

RAW 1.7

Unity RAW 1.7 is an ilda laser light show projector, that is economically friendly and easy to use. It's designed for Djs, nightclubs, and entertainment venues.

You pay for quality, parts and the brand with them. Kvant are known for high quality laser modules. Their beam specs gives a good hint that they do beam correction to maintain optical quality.
