Method Comparison for Simulating Non-Gaussian Beams and Diffraction for Precision Interferometry

In the context of simulating precision laser interferometers, we use several examples to compare two wavefront decomposition methods—the Mode Expansion Method (MEM) and the Gaussian Beam Decomposition (GBD) method—for their precision and applicability. To assess the performance of these methods, we...
