ICDC (Intra-Cavity Dispersion Calculator)
Instructions:
notes: i) current version supports only UV Fused Silica as prism material, ii) third-order dispersion calculation is absent, iii) propagation through prisms is assumed to be at minimum deviation angle
Inputs
| Central wavelength | Center wavelength (in nanometers) about which the pulse bandwidth is centered |
| Radius of curvature of mirrors (M1) | M1 mirrors are shown on the diagram, typical value 10 centimeters |
| Crystal path length | crystal thickness in millimeters through which pulse has to propagate |
| Tip-to-tip separation | refers to prism pair separation (P1's on the diagram) |
| Total(4) path through | total pathlength pulse propagates through prism material in one roundtrip (4 passes) |
Outputs
| alpha | cavity angle (see diagram) for astigmatism compensation |
| Net GVD | Sum of group velocity dispersion [fs2] (GVD) through crystal and prisms. To include intra-cavity mirrors, add this result to GVD values from mirror catalog. |
