Question

A collimated beam of light of diameter $2 \text{ mm}$ is propagating along x-axis. The beam is required to be expanded in a collimated beam of diameter $14 \text{ mm}$ using a system of two convex lenses. If first lens has focal length $40 \text{ mm}$, then the focal length of second lens is ____________ $\text{mm}$.

Beam Expander Lens Focal Length Calculation

This problem involves calculating the focal length of the second lens in a two-lens system designed to expand a collimated light beam. The system configuration is a Keplerian beam expander, where the input and output beams are collimated.

System Parameters

  • Initial beam diameter, $d_1 = 2 \text{ mm}$.
  • Final desired beam diameter, $d_2 = 14 \text{ mm}$.
  • Focal length of the first convex lens, $f_1 = 40 \text{ mm}$.
  • We need to find the focal length of the second convex lens, $f_2$.

Magnification Calculation

The magnification ($M$) of a Keplerian beam expander is the ratio of the final beam diameter to the initial beam diameter:

$ M = \frac{d_2}{d_1} $

Substituting the given values:

$ M = \frac{14 \text{ mm}}{2 \text{ mm}} = 7 $

Focal Length of Second Lens

For a Keplerian beam expander, the magnification is also given by the ratio of the focal lengths of the two lenses:

$ M = \frac{f_2}{f_1} $

To find $f_2$, we rearrange the formula:

$ f_2 = M \times f_1 $

Substituting the calculated magnification and the given $f_1$:

$ f_2 = 7 \times 40 \text{ mm} $

$ f_2 = 280 \text{ mm} $

Conclusion

The required focal length for the second lens is $280 \text{ mm}$. This value falls within the specified range.
