- Thermal and Structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of thermal effects in laser crystals,
- ABCD Gaussian Beam Propagation taking into account thermal lensing, gain guiding etc.,
- Dynamic Analysis of Multimode and Q-switch operation (DMA),
- 3D Wave Optics Beam Propagation Code including diffraction, gain saturation etc.

Based on a quantitave model of the multiphysics effects in laser cavities, LASCAD allows the laser engineer to control and compensate individual features of a resonator design prior to committing hardware."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
