Matlab Laser Toolbox

Matlab® is a program for numeric computation, simulation and visualization, developed by The Mathworks, Inc. It is used heavily in education, research, and industry, for solving general, as well as application area-specific problems, that arise in various disciplines. For this purpose Matlab has numerous sets of application-specific scripts, called “toolboxes”.A Laser Toolbox is introduced providing several scripts for analysis and visualisation of laser beam properties, as well as, simulation of laser material interaction & processes. The toolbox, examples and documentation can all be found at the author’s website. The Laser Toolbox was developed for Matlab version 7.5, and will run on any operating system supported by Matlab.
