imphoSOFT is a revolutionary CAD environment that permits

generalizednumerical

simulations

of

the

dynamic

interaction

of

incident

beamsofcoherent lightwithphotonicmaterials. Itavoids the tedious

process of formulating mathematical equations and rewriting simulation

codeapplicablefordifferentclassesofphotoactivatedmaterialsanddifferent

experimentalconditions.

Simphotek has invented graphical transition modulessymbolic

representationofcomputationalbuildingblocks linking theGUI interface to

themathematicalkernelthatreplacethetraditionalprocessofcodewriting.

Users can configure different coherent light sources and design virtual

samplescomprisingmultiplelayersofmaterialswherethetestmateriallayers

in

amedium.

Users

define

the

material properties (index of refraction, single ormultiphoton absorption

coefficients, electron relaxation times, sample length, single or multiple

combinationsofdifferentmaterials),electronicstructure(desirednumberof

energylevels,desiredallowedphotonictransitions),andlaserwavelengthand

pulsewidth.SimphoSOFTthensimulateslaserbeampropagationthroughthe
