Description
A new method utilizing diffraction of UV laser beams on annular diaphragms
provides very narrow laser beams with full diameter 100-400 mm,
divergence ∼0.05 mrad and effective length up to 10 meters, which exceeds
existing methods with focusing optics. The characteristics of laser beams and
linear ionization created with different diaphragm sizes are present. Optics
schemes proposed to create a system with new beams.
