Simulation of optical systems in the “Resonator Studio” software package and their experimental realization

We developed and tested the free-distribution software package “Resonator Studio,” which allows us to simulate complex optical systems using the method of the matrix optics with respect to the Gaussian beam. The simulation results of the multicomponent optical systems are compared with the experimental data. It is shown that variation in the optical-element location without variation in the general system length and construction of the stability regions as functions of two parameters allow one to speed up the development of the laboratory model.
