This set of simulations make use of the Alternating Direction Implicit method for solving the parabolic wave equation that arises in FD BPM.
The zip file includes the following programs:

FDBPM3D_free_space.m - Animation and video of the 3D propagation.
FDBPM3D_free_space_slice.m - It shows slices of the propagated pulse.
FDBPM3D_free_space_volume.m - It displays the laser beam as it would look in free space after a 1500 um propagation.
