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.

About

Light Lecture

Read full description

Light lecture is a player of lecture data. Mac app "Light Lecture Recorder" lets you create lectures from a PDF file, audio files that record your voice, gestures such as pointing to important points. Most importantly, the size of the lecture file created is extremely light compared to a video file recording the actual lecture. The content is just a set of PDF file and some audio files. There are no problems with hundreds of students accessing the server at the same time. This player also has the ability to change the playback speed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is device support: Light Lecture at 4 against iPhasematch's 2. Light Lecture also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
