“…The β factor of beam quality reflects the actual energy transmission efficiency and focusing ability of the laser beam, remaining constant through ideal optical system transformations and fundamentally representing beam quality. The use of the β factor to assess the beam quality of high-power lasers has become a trend, considered an ideal and practical parameter for beam quality evaluation [1,3,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

“…In the past, due to the complexity of high-energy laser beams, engineering applications typically employed flat-top beams or collimated light as reference beams for the β factor [3,14] . However, in recent years, the β factor has received increased attention as a vital measurement parameter in scenarios where the tested beam types closely resemble Gaussian beams [6,9,10] . Yet, research in this area is still relatively scarce to our knowledge.…”

This study investigates the influence of truncation on the beam quality β factor measurement in Gaussian beams. Employing an annular energy approach, the paper analyzes the β method for calculating beam width's half-radius. Different truncation ratios of Gaussian beams are considered, deriving coefficients for precise β factor calculation. A critical truncation ratio is identified, beyond which diffraction effects are minimal, offering insights into beam measurement and production processes. This study provides key data and in-depth analysis for understanding and analyzing the beam quality β-factor of Gaussian beams induced by the truncation effect, thus laying the foundation for further research on the beam quality β-factor.
