RP Fiber Power – Simulation and Design Software
for Fiber Optics, Amplifiers and Fiber Lasers

Example Cases Described on Separate Pages

A first set of examples illustrates the power of the mode solver and the numerical beam propagation:

• calculating fiber modes
• modes of a germanosilicate fiber, with calculation of dispersion
• launching light into a multimode fiber
• bend effects in a large mode area fiber
• nonlinear self-focusing
• light evolution for a misaligned input beam
• pump absorption in a double-clad fiber
• light in a tapered fiber
• fiber coupler
• mode coupling in a fiber Bragg grating
• actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (bulk laser system; dynamic simulation with wave propagation)
• stimulated Raman scattering in a multimode fiber

Further demo files show how to simulate fiber amplifiers and lasers (only steady-state calculations):

• erbium-doped fiber amplifier
• cladding-pumped high-power ytterbium-doped fiber laser
• thulium-doped blue upconversion laser
• ASE source with automatic spectral optimization

Here are some examples for dynamic simulations:

• pulse amplification in a fiber amplifier
• actively Q-switched fiber laser
• actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (bulk laser system)
• actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (bulk laser system; with wave propagation)
• passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (bulk laser system)

Next, there are demonstrations for simulating the propagation of ultrashort pulses:

• higher-order solitons
• soliton self-frequency shift
• parabolic pulses in a fiber amplifier
• stimulated Raman scattering in a fiber amplifier
• regenerative amplifier (bulk system)
• mode-locked fiber laser
• chirped-pulse amplifier system
• data transmission
• supercontinuum generation

Finally, a demonstration for generating output in other forms:

• reporting calculated results as web pages

Even more demo files (in total more than 70) are delivered with the software. As a user, you can simply copy demo scripts and modify them according to your needs. However, you may also easily generate new scripts using the interactive forms.
