Beam quality is a key laser specification, and the dimensionless M² factor describes departures from ideal beam behavior. Both amplitude and phase distributions determine beam quality. In long-range ranging and altimetry, energy distribution, divergence and width strongly affect return signals, so beam-quality testing supports accuracy. In processing, controlled beam quality improves drilling consistency, welds and precision. In illumination, beam quality measures focusability; high-quality far-field divergence approaches the single-mode Gaussian diffraction limit for more distant uniform collimated illumination. It guides laser design, manufacture, testing and application.
