The M2 factor for helium neon lasers is typically less than 1.1; for ion lasers, the M 2 factor typically is between 1.1 and 1.3. Collimated TEM 00 diode laser beams usually have an M2 ranging from 1.1 to 1.7. For high-energy multimode lasers, the M 2 factor can be as high as 25 or 30. In all cases, the M 2 factor affects the characteristics of ...

monitoring techniques include Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) (Hanson et al., 1980), Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) (Crosley and Smith, 1983), Coherent Anti-Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) (Eckbreth et al., 1979), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) (Best et al., 1991), and evanescent sensing (Culshaw and Dakin, 1996).
