ABCD.app
The ABCD.app was designed originally as a research tool for Ph.D. students to propagate laser beams through simple optical elements. It acquired various capabilities over time such as the ability to calculate resonator modes or model gaussian ducts. It is now a robust program that can be used for teaching and for research.
