An analog signal is used to control the intensity of the output beam.

Hence, the smaller the output beam, the quicker it diverges.

Minimal light absorption, most of the light is directed to one of the output beams.

An output beam is generated at a frequency of the sum of the two input beams.

The output beam is collected by a detector and its intensity is measured.

The thick glass will translate the beam but it will not change the angle of the output beam.

For many common beam-splitting polarizers, however, only one of the two output beams is fully polarized.

There is therefore some separation of the components of the output beam.

Their principal feature is the ability to remotely control the movement and characteristics of the output beam of light.

Q-switching, sometimes known as giant pulse formation, is a technique by which a laser can be made to produce a pulsed output beam.
