Far-infrared optics design and verification

Compact quasi-optics are difficult to design with any confidence using techniques developed for visible wavelengths.

Тойм:Compact quasi-optics are difficult to design with any confidence using techniques developed for visible wavelengths. In this paper we investigate the performance of existing software design tools (ASAP, CODE V, GLAD) as well as a Gaussian beam mode analysis technique not yet available as commercial software. We have devised a set of test cases and used these to study the underlying methodologies and physics of these packages and we probe their suitability for the analysis of submillimetre-wave systems and components. We have used the physical optics package GRASP as our benchmark software.
