    <p>I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do. What
      you asking doesn't seem to make sense. The laser will travel along
      the radius, yet your super Gaussian profile will be spatially
      varying at 90 degrees to the radius, and you want to do it in 1D.
      I suspect you want a polar geometry with the laser traveling in
      from the radius, right?<br>
      <br>
      Maybe look at the 2D laser slab? You might be able to put
      something together with cylindrical geometry, you could model it
      as a circle arc at the end of a tube with the laser coming in from
      the longitudinal direction maybe? Otherwise a well refined
      Cartesian grid might be better.<br>
