imphoSOFT is a revolutionary CAD environment that permits generalizednumericalsimulationsofthedynamicinteractionofincident beams of coherent light with photonic materials. It avoids the tedious process of formulating mathematical equations and rewriting simulation codeapplicablefordifferentclassesofphotoactivatedmaterialsanddifferent experimentalconditions. Simphotek has invented graphical transition modulessymbolic representation of computational building blocks linking the GUI interface to themathematicalkernelthatreplacethetraditionalprocessofcodewriting. Users can configure different coherent light sources and design virtual samplescomprisingmultiplelayersofmaterialswherethetestmateriallayers areoneormorephotoactivespeciesdispersedinamedium.Usersdefinethe material properties (index of refraction, single or multiphoton absorption coefficients, electron relaxation times, sample length, single or multiple combinationsofdifferentmaterials),electronicstructure(desirednumberof energylevels,desiredallowedphotonictransitions),andlaserwavelengthand pulsewidth.SimphoSOFTthensimulateslaserbeampropagationthroughthe sample, giving time and location dependent field strength, dynamic populationdensitiesofeverylevel,andplotsofresults. With its novel CAD technology and easy to use GUI, SimphoSOFT makes interdisciplinarycollaborationeasy.Youdonotneedtobeanopticsexpertor invest heavily in modeling to obtain meaningful photophysical results which can be shared with biologists, medical personnel, engineers, materials scientists, chemists, optical scientist and physicists. SimphoSOFT reduces languagebarriersthroughitsuseofvisualgraphicalmethods.
