Laser tab clarifications/updates

[gurhar1133]

• [ ] Number of mesh points “in slice” is confusing
• [ ] Change how we initialize from function? Place all slices at the same z?
  • Then on plots need to indicate the time of the slice relative to t_0, something like +-40ps

@k-wolfinger I think wee need some more context for these Laser tab update requests

The second item, about how we initialized the function and indicate the slice positions, is not yet implemented in rslaser.

Essentially, we currently give all the laser slices the same time values and different position values, relative to the center of the pulse. We want to change that so that they all have the same position value and different time values, relative to the center of the pulse.

So, instead of plotting longitudinally vs z, we would plot longitudinally vs t. And that t would be the time for that slice to propagate to the center of the pulse (values around +40ps or -40 ps).

I hope that helps for that point?

For the first item, I think the confusion would be cleared up if we wrote something like "Number of Grid Cells in Transverse Slice" and for the two boxes: "Horizontal (x)", "Vertical (y)".

This is not a personal point of confusion, so I am not certain what will clear it up, but changes like these will help.
