2. Comparison of incoherent and coherent radiation
In this paragraph, the light hazard of incoherent and coherent radiation is compared.
A general comparison is provided in the table 3 . Coherent radiation generally has a narrow spatial emission pattern. The divergence of incoherent radiation is greater than the divergence of coherent radiation. Incoherent radiation is broad-band radiation.
