A simulator for evaluating Gaussian optics and simulate projection onto a photodiode. Visual representation of intensity/phase fields as described by Gaussian optics.

A simulator for evaluating Gaussian optics and simulate projection onto a photodiode. Visual representation of intensity/phase fields as described by Gaussian optics. It makes uses of Paraxial optics to propagate Gaussian Rays through optical elements. A simple Paraxial optics tracer functionality is included as well.

Features:
-Symmetrical Gaussian Beams of TEM00 mode
-Calculation of interference on a SED/QPD photodiode detector.
-Determination of Contrast (AC,DC), phase angle and DWS on detector.
-Detector shape (round, gap, per quadrant evaluation) supported.
-Propagation according to Ray transfer analytics (ABCD matrix) of Gauss beam

Tested with Matlab v2018b.
