Hi all, I just want to obtain the beam waist after a blackbox objective but I'm having some troubles. Essentially I am using Physical Optics Propagation and I am not getting consistent information on the beam waist. Here are some screenshots of my setup:

I would like to essentially changing the gaussian beam width, and know how the beam waist at the image plane changes. But, I am not getting consistent data. Is there something blatantly incorrect that I'm doing? I see that the X-and Y- sampling really changes the shape of the Gaussian beam, which I find odd as well.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
