SNLO - Crystal Property Caculations Software

I guess that everyone working in nonlinear optics knows this (free) software. And if not, it is time that you hear about it.

SNLO is a free programm with many functions helping one to select the correct nonlinear crystal, and in modeling nonlinear frequency conversion processes in those crystal. Developed and maintained by Dr. Arlee Smith, at that time working at the Sandia National Laboratories and now founder of AS-Photonics. The software is constantly updated and currently version 51 is available (november 18, 2009). It includes data for more than 50 crystals as well as a good introduction manuel. The PDFs to the software and crystal references you find on the same page where you can download the software:


Since Dr. Smith is working at AS-Photonics you have to register (free) for it. Take time to read the introduction/ help manual to learn the full possibility of this software (and it is not so much time to take ;) ). I am quite sure that this software has simplified the life of many graduate student working in nonlinear optics. Enjoy.

    it seems that it is not yet possible to download SNLO and this is really a great deception!!!

    Hi,

    It is a problem of the AS-Photonics homepage. I can´t do much. As long as their page is down you can download an older version (20 instead of 51) from here:

    http://spot.fho-emden.de/ftp/optik/snlo.exe

    But try later again to download from the as-photonics page to get the newest version. You can also write as-photonics an email and asking for the software.

    best

    add: you have to copy and paste the link into a new tab.

    This has been proven to produce high beam quality and high pointing stability. Image rotation also allows fixed mirror mounts, so no mirror adjustment is ever needed. The left figure shows the single-crystal RISTRA assembly offered by AS-Photonics.

    Software in optics is very interesting and rare concept. It helps people who want to know latest updates on optics.
