iPhasematch vs EMwaveRT

iPhasematch allows you to calculate the phasematching condition of nonlinear wavelength conversion such as SHG or SFM based on published Sellmeier equiations. Downconversion (OPO) can be figured out by the reverse of SFM. It is a subset of the 'Qmix' function of a famous Windows software SNLO by Dr. Arlee Smith. This App does some of what SNLO does on your iOS device. It takes the crystal, two input wavelengths, and temperature and gives the phasematching orientations, effective nonlinear optical coefficients, walk-off angles, angular tolerance and temperature tolerance. In case of SHG, it also gives spectral tolerance. In biaxial crystals, it gives only the phasematching orientations in the principal planes, i.e., either theta=90 deg. or phi=0 or 90deg. Currently supported crystals: BBO, BiBO, CBO, CLBO, LB4, LBO, KBBF, KDP, KD*P, KN, KTP, Mg:LN, Mg:sLN, RBBF, RTP, YAB. NOTE: dn/dT data for LB4 was picked up from discrete data points in the reference and linearly extrapolated. Interface should be intuitive, giving phasematching with a tap of "PM" button,refractive index with "index" button and group index with "Gp.Idx" button, for the given condition (crystal, wavelengths, and temperature). DISCLAIMER: I cannot be held responsible for the result of the calculation it gives. I make every effort to make it accurate, and bug-free, but there could be errors in code. Please just use this on your own discretion.

EMwaveRT is an app to aid teaching and learning of electromagnetics (EM) using mobile devices on the topic of plane wave reflection (R) and transmission (T). The app is designed to provide effective touch-based interactivity and visualization to help students better understand EM concepts. It is applicable to EM plane wave reflection and transmission for general oblique incidence and polarization. The instructor is able to input or change various parameters and rotate the view angles for interactive teaching. Based on the parameters, the 3D animations of incident, reflected and transmitted waves can be visualized in real time. This allows the students to identify clearly each wave and improves their learning of plane wave reflection and transmission. Through several preset cases of incident angles, the visualizations on mobile devices are illustrated. The app can be used to supplement the 3D TV program available for download from http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/eeltan/TEL3DTV.html. User interface: - 3D view may be zoomed or rotated - text view may be zoomed or scrolled - double tap to revert to default view - touch on any underlined field to input/change value - use long slider to change the last field touched - use short slider to change the text transparency - use '|' to show/hide tangential components at interface
