LaserCalc is a tool to calculate Gaussian laser beams along a path of optical elements. Besides the calculation of single-pass setups, the tool also allows to model (ring-)resonators. In particular LaserCalc offers the following features:
-Simulation of the beam propagation through a system of optical components.
-Calculation of fundamental TEM00 eigenmodes of optical resonators and their stability parameters.
-Analysis of parameter variations (such as the focal length of a lens in the system) and their influence on other parameters (e.g. resonator stability).
-Automatic mode matching: LaserCalc can calculate an optical system (e.g. a telescope) which allows the transformation of an incoming beam to given target parameters based on a list of optical elements (such as lenses).
- Support for optical (glass) materials implementing Sellmeier's dispersion formula.
LaserCalc comes with a set of example files. Through a notepad module these examples explain some of the main feature listed above.
