We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Not sure if your plot is near field or far field. Here is my test:

Above is the farfield, and below is the near field:

Please check if the Gaussian beam injection plane is large eough.

Since NA=0.1 is relatively small, you can use scalar Gaussian beam. Of course you can also use NA thin lens beam which is more accurate.
