What this tutorial covers
Enter q-parameter and system values on Android to inspect Gaussian Beam ABCD results.
Before you start：You need access to the product and should ideally follow the tutorial using your own real parameters or data. The screenshots below were manually rematched to avoid the image/topic mismatches seen in the previous version.
Step-by-step workflow
1Open the module
Open Gaussian Beam ABCD. Confirm that the visible page really matches the tutorial topic before changing any settings.
2Configure the input
Prepare and check the input-beam values and the system-matrix/propagation parameters.
3Run and watch the status
Adjust the parameters and inspect output beam waist, radius and related results. Watch the visible status, plot or log area while the workflow is running.
4Inspect the result
Pay special attention to Gaussian Beam ABCD results and the plotted response.
5Verify and iterate
If the result changes unexpectedly, first make sure all beam and system parameters use consistent units. Change one meaningful parameter and rerun so you can verify whether the output changes in the expected direction.
How to read the result
- The main output of this workflow is Gaussian Beam ABCD results and the plotted response.
- Read the result together with the exact inputs used for the run; a screenshot alone rarely tells the whole story.
- If the result changes unexpectedly, first make sure all beam and system parameters use consistent units.
Troubleshooting & practical tips
- If nothing changes, first confirm that the correct module is open.
- If the output looks unrealistic, check units, field mapping and input scale first.
- For comparisons, change one key parameter at a time whenever possible.
