Properties of gaussian beam calculator


This calculator will help you computes the different properties of a gaussian beam.

The formulas that will be used are as followed:

$Z_R$=$\frac{\pi w^2_0}{\lambda}$

$\theta$= $2 \sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{Z_R \pi}}$


$d(z)$ = $2 w_0 \sqrt{1 + (\frac{Z}{Z_R})^2}$

$R(z)$=$z[1+(\frac{Z_R}{Z})^2]$


Laser Wavelength $\lambda$, Waist radius $w_0$, Distance to waist radius $z$

Far field divergence angle $\theta$, Rayleigh length $Z_R$, Spot diameter at Z $d(z)$, Radius of wavefront curvature R(z)
