Re: Multimode Fiber Output Model


hi, Wade,

Your reply is really helpful for me also. Do you have any idea
about modeling a high power laser diode as a source in Zemax? It has
a 200micron*1micron aperture and different divergence angles in the
two orthogonal direction. I have studied the Zemax manual and looked
for solutions on Internet for several days, but no proper answers were
founded. Who can help me? Thank you very much.

Hi Laurence,
Zemax provides an example of how to model a diode source. You can
find it at Zemax \Samples \Sequential \Miscellaneous \Diode source
simulation.zmx. Just open it and see how it was done. You'll have to
modify the file to correspond to your own situation.
Also, Zemax Support can often point you in the right direction. If
you use Zemax often (or for profit), their support is worth having.
They don't always give you the answer you need, and they've only
admitted (to me) that their program was doing something wrong once,
but about 85 to 90% of the time, they will help you get to the
answer. And that's pretty good for a work in process.
