I need to model laser source in beam propagation with following constraints.

beam size: 5 mm

divergence angle: 400 urad

M2 = 1.5

wavelength: 1064 nm

I appreciate in advance. 

Thanks,

Unsig

Hey Unsig,

This is using POP? Just use Gaussian Size and Angle as the beam definition:

M^2 can’t be entered separately, but the beam size and angle should resolve down to the stated M^2. That’s the point of the Beam Size and Angle definition.
