摘要
本文借鉴传统矩阵光学和 J. A. Arnaud 的复合射线,介绍了一种用于光学系统中高斯激光光束光线跟踪的简化方法。它为光学工程师提供了一种直观的工具,能适应任意的初始光束曲率和光斑半径,从而进行多种系统分析。包括光束聚焦、模式匹配和变焦镜头系统在内的示例都证明了它的适用性。我们为模拟和优化提供了一个用户友好型 Microsoft Excel 工具,以及一个 Python 编码的三维光束传播模型。这种方法增强了对各种光学配置的理解,并为专业人员提供了实用工具。这项工作还探索了三维虚拟现实的应用。
This article introduces a streamlined method for ray-tracing Gaussian laser beams in optical systems, drawing from traditional matrix optics and J. A. Arnaud’s complex rays. It provides an intuitive tool for optical engineers, accommodating arbitrary initial beam curvatures and spot radii for versatile system analyses. Examples, including beam focusing, mode matching, and zoom lens systems, demonstrate its applicability. We present a user-friendly Microsoft Excel tool for simulations and optimization, along with a Python-coded 3D beam propagation model. This method enhances understanding and equips professionals with practical tools for various optical configurations. This work also explores the application to 3D virtual reality.
