The design of refractive lens and mirror systems is the basis for laser beam control, including:
collimation
focusing
beam expanders
beam guidance
laser scanners
transversal beam shaping
The software VirtualLab Fusion enables further performance improvement of such laser systems obtained from a ray tracing design. This is possible by parametric optimization and Monte-Carlo tolerancing techniques in combination with the unique field tracing simulation engine, which takes physical optics effects (like beam diffraction and polarization) into account.
Laser diode modeling including astigmatism, which shows influence on size, shape & position of focus spot.
