System optical quality users guide. Part 3. Final report Jan-Jun 80

This report describes the System Optical Quality (SOQ) code structure and the input to the code required for analyzing High Power Laser Optical Systems. The SOQ code provides the designer with a physical optics model of the system. The code traces the beam from its point of origin in the resonator through the optical train into the far field. This Part contains Appendices describing SOQ updates.
