Part 1: Gaussian beam theory and ray-based approach
This section starts with an overview of Gaussian beam theory and the terms and conventions used by OpticStudio. It sets up an example to show how to optimize a laser beam focusing system using geometric ray-based approach.
Part 2: Using the Paraxial Gaussian Beam analysis
This section introduces the Paraxial Gaussian Beam analysis tool. It shows how to set up the analysis to optimize for the smallest laser beam size.
Part 3: Using Physical Optics Propagation to model Gaussian beams
This last section introduces the Physical Optics Propagation (POP) tool. It discusses how to set up POP and use it to find the best focus of the laser beam.
