Re: [Goptical] Simulating two lasers' waves interference with Goptical

[Aaron Webster]

RAYTRACE, written by Prof. Lindlein of FAU Germany, is appropriate for that purpose.  Unfortunately it's not open source and only for Windows.

I have an experimental program which can compute the interference pattern for small regions near the focal point given a list of rays, and their relative optical path distance.

Thanks Alexandre! By the way, could you guys recommend any other library
which is capable of that (preferably an open source one)? Well, it
doesn't have to be a library, it could be something like a simulation
suite/software etc...
