Hello,
I want to calculate for a scanning pulsed laser parameters like peak power, power of a single pulse and average power for eye-safety purposes.
Is there a way of calculate these parameters for a particular setup using Zemax or does Zemax has sime kind of features for eye-safety calculations?
Thank you,
Narciso
Hi Narciso,
You've asked a good question. Generally, OpticStudio does not do much regarding time dependent calculations. But if your pulse is just a time-varying intensity profile, you ought to be able to use a ZPL macro or an API to do the calculations you need just by looping through the time steps, changing intensities, and then calculating averages, sums, etc as you need. I don't know of any current tools that exist for this sort of calculation, but if we come across any, I'll get them into this forum thread.
Best regards,
Kevin Scales
Hi Narciso,
I was able to locate a Matlab based API that does a little bit of pulse analysis. Feel free to use it if it helps. I'm attaching a Zip file here.
Best regards,
