laser diode in zemax simulation

      I'm trying to use a laser diode source in my simulation, and after consulting the Zemax documentation, I was able to figure out how to calculate the X and Y divergences based on the laser diode datasheet. However, I'm still struggling with parameters like X and Y super Gauss, Wx, Sx, Hx, Wy, Sy, and Hy, and also Astigmatism!
      I'd really appreciate any help in understanding how to handle these. Thanks!
      The laser diode datasheet is attached.

      Hi Arezoo,

      Thank you for reaching out to us, may I ask you wether you have gone through our help file page: The Setup Tab » Editors Group (Setup Tab) » Non-sequential Component Editor » Non-sequential Sources » Source Diode?

      I believe you can find there some details regarding these parameters.

      Kind Regards,

      Niki

      Thank you for your reply!
      Yes, I have gone through the zemax help documentation for diode laser source. All I understood from the help was how to 

      define αx  and αy from θfwhm , where a formula given: αx  =θfwhm/sqr(2 Ln 2)

      Other than that I could not really understand how I could calculate other parameters for the diode laser based on the diode laser datasheet info provided by the manufacturer. all other parameters like X and Y super Gauss, Wx, Sx, Hx, Wy, Sy, and Hy, and also Astigmatism.
