Propagation of a 3D Gaussian Beam Laser Pulse

Laser systems are an important application area in modern electronics. There are several ways to generate a laser beam, but they all have one thing in common: the wavelength is determined by the stimulated emission, which depends on material parameters.

This model is a 3D time domain simulation of Gaussian beam pulse propagation. The YAG (lambda=1.06 µm) laser beam pulse has its waist inside the domain and the input and output boundaries are bent according to the spherical wave fronts of the Gaussian beam.
