Highlights
  • Phasematching condition calculation
  • Sellmeier equation integration
  • Effective nonlinear optical coefficients
  • Walk-off and angular tolerance
  • Temperature tolerance
  • Supported crystal list

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.

An educational visualization app that lets you UNDERSTAND algorithms by watching them — not by reading. Three classic areas of computer science come alive with interactive animations: Sorting, Searching, and Recursion. [ Sorting - 6 algorithms ] - Bubble Sort / Selection Sort / Insertion Sort - Merge Sort / Quick Sort / Heap Sort Race Mode runs multiple algorithms side by side on the same array — feel the difference in complexity at a glance. [ Searching - 4 algorithms ] - Breadth-First Search (BFS) / Depth-First Search (DFS) - Dijkstra's Algorithm / A* Search Visualize pathfinding on a grid maze. You can place walls yourself. [ Recursion ] - Tower of Hanoi - Fractals: Koch curve, Sierpinski triangle, recursive tree [ Features ] - Grasp WHAT IS HAPPENING through color and motion - Adjustable speed, step-by-step execution, multiple array presets - Each algorithm includes mechanism, complexity, pros and cons, and real-world usage notes - Ads never interrupt the animation - designed to preserve focus - Universal app for iPhone and iPad - Japanese and English (follows OS language) [ Who is this for ] - Students learning programming for the first time - Anyone preparing for IT exams - Engineers who want to deepen their intuition about algorithms - Curious minds who love watching things move [ Note on pricing ] This app is completely free with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. To support development and maintenance we display Google AdMob banner and interstitial advertising. Ads are never shown while an algorithm animation is playing. The first information-systems title of the Raku Series.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: iPhasematch at none against ARURAKU's shown. iPhasematch also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
