This type is one of the most popular laser cavities. In particular, it is often used for the Ti-doped sapphire femto-second laser. The stability of the laser cavity is analyzed by releasing a ray inside the cavity and is traced for a predefined time period that is sufficiently long. ... Read More
A distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is a periodic structure formed from alternating dielectric layers that can be used to achieve nearly total reflection within a range of frequencies, with minimal losses. In this tutorial a Bragg reflector is modeled with a central wavelength of 550[nm] ... Read More
A Fresnel lens can be constructed from a plano-convex lens as a way to reduce the thickness. This model models the collimation property of a Fresnel lens and demonstrates the geometry operation of making a Fresnel lens from a plano-convex lens. Read More
This model demonstrates how the sun causes 1.75 arcseconds of deflection for rays grazing the sun's surface as observed from the earth. Einstein predicted this value after refining his theory of relativity during World War I. Read More
This model showcases the broadband optimization for the Microstructured antireflective coatings that are modeled in the model (#99011). Following are the parameters that are optimized: Rectangular microstructure: Height and width of the rectangular microstructure. Pyramidal ... Read More
Optical computing has been a promising paradigm alternative to the current electronic computers. This model simulates an optical 4-by-4 unitary matrix multiplication device based on a network of six Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). A more detailed description of this model can be ... Read More
The capability to alter the polarization of light is crucial to a wide variety of optical devices. For example, the polarization of light has a significant effect on the performance of optical isolators, attenuators, and beam splitters. By assigning a specific polarization to light, most ...

This model simulates a holographic page data storage system. The studies include the recording and retrieval processes. The object beam encrypting 8-bit data is focused into a holographic material by a Fourier lens (Fourier transformation). In the recording process, the object beam ... Read More
The design of antireflective coating plays an important role to increase the transmission of the infrared light that propagates through optical structures such as lens and windows. In this model, we showcase how different bulk structures such as Si and CZT that has the bulk ... Read More
Anti-reflective coatings are frequently used in optical systems to reduce the amount of stray light produced when a beam of light crosses from one medium into another medium with a different refractive index. The simplest example of an anti-reflective coating is a quarter-wavelength ... Read More
