SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the search for free ray tracing software suitable for broadband lasers, specifically for a personal project that may evolve into a PhD. The user references their own project, Aether, available on GitHub, which allows users to input a beam as a source with a broad spectrum. The broadband source in question is patented by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, indicating a focus on advanced optical simulations.
