Abstract:Modern simulation of solid state lasers and amplifiers is a multi-physics problem. It requires the simulation of light with different techniques, as well as coupling of optical effects with other physical effects like deformation and stress inside a laser crystal. We present and overview simulation techniques which are necessary for an accurate modelling of solid state laser. These include ray tracing for modeling of pump light, Gauss mode analysis for stability calculations of a laser cavity, and vectorial be… Show more
