🔴 Pulsed Laser Focus: Gaussian Beam, Fluence and Damage Threshold (2D)

Side view of a pulsed laser beam brought to a focus by a lens. Set the pulse energy and duration, the wavelength, the beam size and focal length, the beam quality and the damage threshold of a target, and see the spot size, Rayleigh range, fluence, peak power and how long a stretch of the axis is above the damage threshold. Focusing, energy, pulse shape and damage length are checked with four in-page numerical checks.
