YAGCAVTY.LEN - A YAG LASER CAVITY
Yagcavty shows the final design of the YAG laser cavity described elsewhere, and can be used to check your results. This is the final design of the YAG laser cavity . The design shown here was actually produced using an optimization procedure, in which an SCP error function was used to compute...

Including the effective focal length in the error function
Question Please tell me how to include the effective focal length (EFL) in the error function as referred in OSLO 5.4 Optics Reference Chapter 7, Page 266 (A design project)? Synopsis Including the effective focal length in the error function Solution In rev 5.4, the focal length is not explicitly...
CAD Translation
Question When I want to save the work of TracePro into the IGES/STEP format, a message appears that tells me no such feature exists, and another message tells me that IGES/STEP Translator is required for data translation. One other problem is that when I save the work of TracePro as a SAT file,...
Collimating Lens: DIODCOLL.LEN - How to Collimate a Laser Diode
Diodcoll shows a practical lens in which the difference between aplanatic and paraxial ray aiming is clearly visible. Paraxial ray aiming is used in many optical design programs, but it does not provide a good model for systems that have a large numerical aperture on the object side. Aplanatic ray...

Showing a surface when drawing a lens
Question OSLO does not seem to show some surfaces in my lens. Why is this? How do I force a surface to be shown when I draw a lens? Synopsis Showing a surface when drawing a lens Solution Try the following: Make sure the Aperture Radius of your surface is large enough to be seen in the scale of...
