A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the telescope in opposite the normal direction and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon. If this is done with the Apache Point Observatory telescope, producing a 3.48 m diameter beam of 633 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread of the beam?
