How to Use LASCADTM Software for LASer ysis and Design Konrad Altmann LAS-CAD GmbH, Munich, Germany Numerical ysis of the 3D nonlinear inter- action of the optical fields in a with thermal effects, such as the temperature- dependent refractive index distribution, absorbed pump power distribution, do distribution, population inversi c. is of growing importance to optimize SSL sytems Intuitive approach based on al experience is still important, but is not sufficient due to the tendency to minia- turize laser systems and simultaneously to rease their power output, causing in ction of strong fields in very small volumes. To model the complex in ctions in a laser , LASCAD software combines the necessary simulation tools into one package. Based on a tave understanding of the multiphysics effects in laser cavities, LASCAD allows the laser engineer to optimize important features of a laser like beam quality and laser power output. LASCAD offers: • Thermal and Structural Finite Element ysis (FEA) • ABCD Gaussian Beam Propagation • Physical Optics Beam Propagation (BPM) • Computation of Laser Power Output and Beam Quality • Dynamic ysis of Multimode and Q- Switched Operation (DMA) Design of LASCAD has been guided by three basic ideas: •The Optical Workbench on the PC •The Laser Engineering Tool • The Educational Tool LASCAD - The Optical Workbench on the PC An easy-to-use and clearly organized user interface permits intuitive modeling and design of laser cavities. It helps the engi- neer understand experimental results without wasting valuable time studying complicated s: LASCAD - The Optical
