People Also Ask (FAQs)
Why is it called a 4F system?
It is named 4F because the system is designed using two lenses separated by the sum of their focal lengths (f + f + f + f configuration in optical path design).
Can a 4F system preserve beam quality?
Yes. A properly designed 4F system can preserve collimation and minimize optical distortion during beam relay.
