LASCAD 3.6

During the last 15 years LASCAD has become an industry-leading software package for LASer Cavity Analysis and Design.For this purpose LASCAD provides a unique combination of simulation tools:
- Thermal and Structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of thermal effects in laser crystals,
- ABCD Gaussian Beam Propagation taking into account thermal lensing, gain guiding etc.,
- Dynamic Analysis of Multimode and Q-switch operation (DMA),
- 3D Wave Optics Beam Propagation Code including diffraction, gain saturation etc.
Based on a quantitave model of the multiphysics effects in laser cavities, LASCAD allows the laser engineer to control and compensate individual features of a resonator design prior to committing hardware.
