description We present LBSA — a complex laser beam shaping application that integrates the design and control features into a single graphical user interface app. This approach makes the advanced beam shaping operations accessible even for non-technical users. The control component automatically detects both the reflective spatial light modulator and an external camera, while the design one, offers built-in phase shaping functions. These enable complex beam shaping from a single standalone app. In this work, we go through each of the LBSA components, describe their features, and provide a usage example based on experimental results.
