Interactive electric field calculations for lasers
Abstract
The goal of the computational effort described herein is to develop computer codes for rapidly and accurately modeling the electric fields in the cavity of lasers and switches. The designer is able to interactively perturb the laser operating parameters and/or electrode geometry, and quickly obtain new solutions. The codes use automatic generation of solution-adaptive boundary-fitted coordinate systems, and solve two- and three-dimensional problems in both steady-state and time-dependent modes.
