… Laser devices themselves have a mechanism for improving the directionality of the emitted light. This is because the direction of the light is naturally determined as it is repeatedly reflected between two mirrors (geometric directivity). However, since it is a light wave, it is inevitable that the light will spread out due to diffraction after it is emitted. However, this is small in the case of laser light, because the light is a beam of light with a spatially uniform phase (good spatial coherence) over a range that is sufficiently large compared to the wavelength λ (physical optics directivity). … *Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "geometric directionality" are listed below.

… またレーザー装置は,それ自体が出射光の指向性をよくする機構をもっている。2枚の鏡の間で繰り返し反射されている間に光の進む方向がおのずから決まってくるからである(幾何学的指向性)。それでも光波である以上,出射後の光が回折現象によって広がっていくことは避けられないが,レーザー光の場合それが小さいのは,波長λに比べて十分大きな範囲で,空間的に位相のそろった(空間的コヒーレンスのよい)光束となっているからである(物理光学的指向性)。… ※「幾何学的指向性」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
