BEAMSEEKER is an
interactive Microsoft Excel chart/spreadsheet program that offers a very
quick, simple and easy method of designing basic optical lens systems to
steer gaussian laser beams. A complete laser optical sytem can be developed
in minutes or even seconds using the BeemSeeker scheme, and it requires very
little knowledge of laser optics. Just simple mouse click and drag control is
used to shape the desired beam. The program requires previous installation of
Microsoft Excel for the intensive calculations required (matrix optics). The
main chart is a beam trace of the 1/e^2 intensity envelope of a Gaussian type
laser beam propagating through fifty optical elements (lenses) and fifty
distances. The beam is effectively sampled and then plotted at the locations
of the optical elements along the propagation axis, whether the element has
optical power or not. Null power elements (no lens power) can be positioned
as desired to measure the spot size at various locations. easy interactive
changes to the Gaussian beam trace, allowing easy synthesis of desired beam
shapes. Null power elements can also be used to sample for the local minimum
beam size. While the DEMO BeamSeeker version allows only three lens elements
to be varied, the regular program allows all fifty elements to be changed if
required. The program makes the following assumptions:
(2) All diffraction effects are due to the intrinsic properties
of the Gaussian beam (3) All optical aberration effects are included in the m^2 beam
quality factor (5) A beam "waist" occurs at the first optical element (6) Beam size can be interpolated between optical elements on
the chart
