The Ultimate Tool for Fiber Laser Development
RP Fiber Power is a powerful high-quality modeling software for designing and optimizing fiber amplifiers and lasers, for investigating the impact of various detrimental effects on the performance, and for educational purposes. Its user interface combines uttermost flexibility with an easy start, making the software suitable for quick calculations in an industrial environment as well as for advanced research.
Features of Version 2.0
The current version of RP Fiber Power is 2.0. It has been very substantially improved over version 1.0. The key features are:
- The physical model can take into account radial dependencies of doping concentrations and optical intensities (mode fields). This results in a higher precision e.g. for devices based on double-clad fibers.
- It is possible for the user to freely define energy level schemes of laser-active ions and a great variety of processes inducing transitions between these levels. Therefore, the software is applicable to any conceivable laser ions (Nd3+, Yb3+, Er3+, Tm3+, Pr3+, …) and pumping schemes. It can even handle cases with different ion species combined (e.g. Yb3+ and Er3+) or with complicated quenching processes. It can also describe upconversion lasers of various kinds.
- NEW: The software is delivered with spectroscopic and other data for various fibers.
- The software can calculate the steady-state distribution of optical powers and excitation densities with a surprisingly high speed and very high reliability. The sophisticated algorithms allow that even in complicated cases and do not require manual tweaking of numerical parameters. (With other software, you might easily have more than 5 times longer computation times and convergence issues in complicated situations.)
- The software can also simulate the temporal evolution. For example, it can simulate the distortion of an optical pulse by gain saturation during amplification in a fiber amplifier, or the formation of a pulse in a Q-switched laser.
- In addition to the script language, there is the convenient option of controlling the software via interactive forms. This helps to get started very quickly.
- In addition to the detailed PDF manual, you can use an extensive context-sensitive online help system.
Having these features, the software can be applied in a great variety of cases. Some examples are shown as demos. You will hardly find any other software product with comparable features.
Another important aspect of this software: you can verify that its developer is a top expert in this technical area who surely understands the involved physics and knows the scientific literature. He will be the person who makes sure that any problem you may have with using the software will be solved very soon. Substantial technical support – also usable for more general consultancy on related technical matters! – is included in the license fee.
The powerful combination of software and competent support helps you to achieve fast and very efficient progress in your development projects.
