Simtools

(A collection of Matlab tools for optical simulations)

SimTools is simply a collection of Matlab m-files, containing utility functions or example scripts. This set of files was originally written to be used with Finesse (version 0.99.7 or later), providing Matlab functions to read, write and edit Finesse input files automatically. Since then, this package has been extended with numerous files related to optics and simulations. In particular I have contributed most of my own collection of Matlab functions and scripts about Gaussian beams. Furthermore, this collection includes now contributed functions from several other people.

To install SimTools, download and unzip the zip file below, and copy the newly created folder `SimTools06' into a directory which is in your Matlab path. A list of functions can be printed using FT_help; try 'FT_help()' to get started. See also the Readme file below for a list of the included functions.
