The invention of the laser has revolutionized industries as disparate as manufacturing and medical care, consumer electronics and space systems. Lasers are devices that emit monochromatic light that has a high degree of collimation and polarization. These properties differ from other light sources such as sunlight or LEDs. Modeling lasers requires unique tools that accurately simulate their beam profile and coherent nature.
 
Quadoa provides numerous capabilities for laser modeling. Easily define source ray distributions as symmetric or elliptical Gaussian beams. View Gaussian beam profiles and through focus distributions anywhere in the system. For complete coherent beam propagation, the wave optics toolbox utilizes a robust gaussian beam decomposition method that’s not as sensitive to phase sampling as other physical optics methods.

Fiber Systems

Fiber optics are critical parts of modern telecommunication infrastructure and many other applications. Their ability to transmit data at high-bandwidths and with small loss has enabled the global internet as we know it. Optical systems that couple light from a source...

Interferometers

There is a saying that a system can only be built to a specification to the extent that it can be measured precisely for manufacturing defects. As manufacturing capability has advanced, the need to measure components to very tight precision has required new...

Cameras & Telescopes

The oldest types of optical systems are image forming cameras and telescopes. The first camera, the camera obscura, had no lenses or mirrors at all and simply used a pinhole to map an object scene to an image scene. The human eye served as the foundation of our...

Virtual/Augmented Reality

Mixed reality hardware and the associated software platforms have the potential to revolutionize the digital world and how we interact with it. Many industry experts believe MR hardware will replace smart phones as the dominant platform for people to access the...
