RP Fiber Power
Analyze and design passive and active fiber optics:
- fiber amplifiers and lasers
(continuous-wave, Q-switched, mode-locked, multi-stage, CPA, …) - single-mode and multimode fibers, double-clad fibers, multi-core fibers, tapered fibers, …
- fiber couplers
- telecom systems
RP Fiber Power is a must-have for anyone seriously working with fiber devices!
New V6: custom forms can be made for specific applications! Those you don't want to deal with the technical details just get custom forms made within the technical support.
RP Resonator
Design and optimize laser resonators:
- get beam radii anywhere
- study the alignment sensitivity
- fully parametrize your models
- optimize with arbitrary criteria
Due to the powerful script language, the flexibility of RP Resonator is unparalleled!
RP ProPulse
Study the pulse formation in
- passively and actively mode-locked lasers
- sync-pumped OPOs
- fiber amplifiers
If you want to fully understand picosecond and femtosecond lasers, RP ProPulse is the tool you need! (For fiber devices, RP Fiber Power is even better.)
RP Coating
Analyze and optimize the designs of
- dielectric mirrors
- filters, dichroic mirrors
- dispersive mirrors
- thin-film polarizers
- SESAMs
- VECSELs
Profit from an unparalleled flexibility due to the built-in script language:
- include Sellmeier-type refractive index data in any form
- parametrize your structures as you like;
automatically generate complex structures - import and export data with any formats (text or binary)
- optimize with arbitrary criteria
RP Coating is a tool even for most challenging cases!
