HEL Beam Propagation Simulator

Browser-native High Energy Laser beam propagation: a Gaussian beam (wavelength, waist, power) launched over a horizontal or slant atmospheric path, with the vacuum diffraction spread w(z), Fried coherence length r0 (constant-Cn2 horizontal OR the Hufnagel-Valley slant integral), turbulence-broadened long-term spot, Strehl ratio, power-in-the-bucket at a target aperture, peak irradiance and a thermal-blooming distortion number out - the target-plane irradiance drawn as a 2D heatmap.

What it is

Browser-native High Energy Laser beam propagation: a Gaussian beam (wavelength, waist, power) launched over a horizontal or slant atmospheric path, with the vacuum diffraction spread w(z), Fried coherence length r0 (constant-Cn2 horizontal OR the Hufnagel-Valley slant integral), turbulence-broadened long-term spot, Strehl ratio, power-in-the-bucket at a target aperture, peak irradiance and a thermal-blooming distortion number out - the target-plane irradiance drawn as a 2D heatmap. The vacuum Gaussian optics is exact (GeoNum-certified); the turbulence and blooming terms are published models, flagged as model accuracy. Deterministic, client-side, sub-100 ms, wall-time on every run. Standard published beam-propagation optics.

Honest scope

Deterministic and citation-backed: every figure is exact arithmetic or a cited rule. Any year- or jurisdiction-indexed value is a confirmable input, never an eternal hardcode. This is a computation tool, not professional (legal, tax, medical, or financial) advice - confirm against the controlling authority for your context.
