  • SCIOPT is now the US distributor for finite element based ASLD software for detailed thermal and mechanical analysis of solid state laser resonators and amplifiers.  Many additional capabilities are supported. Inquire at info@sciopt.com. 
SCIOPT develops and offers Paraxia-Plus-10 software tools for Laser system design on Windows based computers.   With Paraxia-Plus you can study laser resonator characteristics or laser beam interactions with components outside the resonator or both.   The program offers a unique combination of:
  • An easy graphical user interface including our unique "Digital Laser Workbench" for dynamic system analysis  
  • Powerful algorithms for ABCD methods including tilted, decentered, and complex elements 
  • Rigorous FFT and FHT based beam propagation, of arbitrary waveforms including intensity and phase masking
  • Optimization and worst case and statistical Tolerancing analysis. 
  • Virtual Source methods for unstable and Variable Reflectivity Mirror resonators are supported.

Established in 1981, and focused on innovative and award winning optics software development, SCIOPT serves a worldwide customer base.  Paraxia software originated in Dr. Tony Siegman's group at Stanford University.  Today's Paraxia-Plus for Windows based computers has many added powerful features.   Click here to view sample screen shots.  Click here to view a feature summary.  Click here to request additional information and a preview disk.   Or, contact us directly at:
