This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of laser microprocessing, focusing on beam quality, Gaussian beam parameters, Rayleigh range, depth of focus, M2 factor, and comparison between Gaussian beams and plane waves. It also discusses the importance of beam parameter product for different laser designs and the use of optical fibers in high-power laser systems.
