Modeling Physical States in Optical Cavities
The VirtualLab™ Laser Resonator Toolbox is designed to solve your resonator modeling tasks. For LASCAD users it offers extended techniques for analyzing laser resonators using Fox-Li and Arnoldi algorithms. In a typical application scenario, you are asked to specify your laser resonator configuration by selecting components, such as mirrors, interface sequences, index-modulated media, laser crystal, diffractive optical elements, ideal components like the ideal lens or a generalized Jones matrix. You then begin the eigenmode analysis to obtain the fundamental mode and its eigenvalue. All parameters of this mode can be detected, including the beam waist and M² value. Polarization effects can be included, as well as the bandwidth of transition levels.
