@wolf480pl light can always be collimated on short length scales nut I suspect if it's not coherent that collimation will break down fairly quickly

@wolf480pl that's a good question; collimation of laser light is easier because they tend to be monochromatic, "of one colour", which means their photons are roughly the same wavelength. this means that any lenses you use will ensure that most of the light responds in the same way and changes with the same angle.

I'm not sure if light needs to be coherent to be collimated, it seems likely that incoherent light would interfere with itself and cause the light to disperse but I'd need to think about it to be sure

@wolf480pl yeah for sure, the common sense interpretation of laser focused is on the right track though

@wolf480pl the defining feature of lasers is that their light is in phase, i.e. each photon emitted from the laser is synchronised with the rest

so when someone is "laser focused" it implies that every aspect of their being is synchronised with their intention
