Tools for laser engineers
Reference calculators from the Midel Photonics laser optics team, for designing and specifying laser beam-delivery systems. Built on the same physics we use in our own optical design.
Laser Spot Size Calculator
Spot diameter, beam waist, Rayleigh range and depth of focus, for free-space and fiber-coupled systems. Enter M² or BPP, or solve backwards for the optic.
Open tool Designer3D Gaussian Explorer
See the extended-depth-of-focus trade-off — usable depth against spot growth — versus an unshaped Gaussian, for your system.
Open tool Calculator3D Top-Hat Calculator
The round flat-top spot diameter and effective depth of focus for your beam shaper, with standard-product availability.
