Summary

Description
English: Surface plot of the intensity profile of a Gaussian laser beam with beam waist . The height profile is proportional to the beam intensity, while the color is proportional to the electromagnetic field amplitude. The white lines represent the beam width, both at the FWHM and 1/e² intensity level.
