Laser Rangefinder Beam Divergence Explained: Spot Size at 1–20 km

Beam divergence may look like a small specification, but its effect grows quickly with distance. This guide explains how 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 mrad beams change spot size from 1 to 20 km, how beam footprint relates to target size and pointing accuracy, and what to check when selecting a laser rangefinder module for OEM integration.
