Modeling a real laser diode stack based on Zemax ray tracing software that operates in a nonsequential mode is reported. The implementation of the model is presented together with the geometric and optical parameters to be adjusted to calibrate the model and to match the simulated intensity irradiance profiles with the experimental profiles. The calibration of the model is based on a near-field and a far-field measurement. The validation of the model has been accomplished by comparing the simulated and experimental transverse irradiance profiles at different positions along the caustic formed by a lens. Spot sizes and waist location are predicted with a maximum error below 6%. © 2010 Optical Society of America.

Abstract
Modeling a real laser diode stack based on Zemax ray tracing software that operates in a nonsequential mode is reported. The implementation of the model is presented together with the geometric and optical parameters to be adjusted to calibrate the model and to match the simulated intensity irradiance profiles with the experimental profiles. The calibration of the model is based on a near-field and a far-field measurement. The validation of the model has been accomplished by comparing the simulated and experimental transverse irradiance profiles at different positions along the caustic formed by a lens. Spot sizes and waist location are predicted with a maximum error below 6%. © 2010 Optical Society of America.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
