Software for laser simulations

AI Thread Summary
For simulating laser beams, including intensity, power, and mirror arrangements, ray tracing software is recommended. One suggested option is the Optical Ray Tracer, which can be found at arachnoid.com. Additionally, certain CAD software can manage optical elements effectively. Users are encouraged to explore these tools for their laser simulation needs. Further suggestions for software are welcomed to enhance the search.

Thread 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
