Hello! Is there any good free ray tracing simulator? I just want to simulate the behavior of a Gaussian beam in a simple bow tie cavity. Thank you!

I don't believe there is any simulation platform that was made with cavities in mind. If you want a good free ray tracing simulator, try Winlens Basic from Qioptiq. I think you will need to hard-code the astigmatism from the tilted mirrors into the simulation, but if you know the focal length shift then the ray tracing should work just fine. Hope that helps!
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
