Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method

Gaussian pulse propagated in free space using FDBPM

You are now following this Submission

Simulation of a gaussian pulse propagated in free space through 1000 um, using finite differences.
Just run the script and you'll get a surface which is made up of the pulse propagated at 1 um steps.
