Research abstract
Apsidal proposes to develop its Intelligent Fiber Laser Performance Evaluator software. At the heart of it is a sophisticated multifaceted fiber-laser physics modeling software. Key features include modules for modeling resonators, configuration geometries, 3D finite difference mode solvers, classical and quantum mechanical rate equation solvers, and a non-linear effects module. This software’s predictive design capabilities are further enhanced by combining the physics-based fiber laser model with adaptive deep-learning basis functions. This accurately captures the nonlinear input-output relationship between refractive-index profiles and high-power fiber lasers and optimizes the fiber laser design.
