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 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
