The turbulence and the concord of the beam

A beam may be more or less coherent or vary in different ways. A laminar beam is accurate, smooth, transparent and controlled. A dynamic beam resembles the laminar, but has an internal turbulence. In the rotating beam, the turbulence creates a pattern that turns it around its own axis. The strongest turbulence, however, is found in the split beam. Here, the main beam is divided into several small ones, resulting in a strong turbulence and plenty of foam.
