• A single-mode He-Ne laser has a beam of diameter 3 mm. As the beam propagates away from the laser, its diameter increases because of diffraction, (a) Given that this effect simply adds to the initial beam size, find the distance at which the beam diameter is doubled, (b) At what distance will the beam have a diameter of 1 m?
