"Liekki Application Designer v3.0 is the most effective and versatile simulation package focused on high power laser and amplifier applications. The software is able to simulate and analyze both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed applications (including time domain effects and radial doping profiles) using erbium or ytterbium doped fibers as the gain medium". Says Dr. Mircea Hotoleanu, Liekki Product Manager for Design Software. "Liekki Application Designer v3.0 provides our customers with long waited design and simulation capability for high power fiber applications. Especially high power fiber lasers and amplifiers are of utmost interest for companies in the military, aerospace, industrial manufacturing and medical sectors. The need for a good versatile design tool is obvious", he continues.

This new release of the Liekki Application Designer, v3.0, builds on the successful v2.0 strengthened with new powerful features essential for system designers, optical engineers, research scientists and students learning fiber application design. Version 3.0 adds transient (time-domain) analysis into the tool box. New components such as time dependent signal sources and optical modulators have been added. The user can also calculate non-linear effects thresholds such as Brillouin scattering and Raman scattering and the effect of refractive index variation with optical power density. The user interface and the reporting tools are further enhanced for ease-of-use and full compatibility with other software.

About Liekki Corporation

Liekki designs, manufactures and markets specialty optical fibers and fiber subassemblies (optical engines) for fiber amplifiers and lasers using its unique and proprietary Direct Nanoparticle Deposition (DND) technology. DND makes it possible to produce state-of-the-art highly doped fibers that minimize required fiber length, have high doping, large core-to-clad ratio, low photodarkening, flat refractive index profile, high efficiency and reduced nonlinear effects. Liekki fibers also have very good usability in terms of splicing properties, temperature and bending characteristics. Liekki products are applied in applications such as high power fiber lasers for industrial manufacturing, military and aerospace, medical applications, telecom amplifiers and ASE light sources.

Liekki has invented, developed and commercialized a new, innovative nanoparticle process, Direct Nanoparticle Deposition (DND) for a wide range of industrial applications. Liekki has licensed DND to industrial customers for non-optical applications and will continue to do so.

Liekki is headquartered in Lohja, Finland. Liekki products are available globally through Thorlabs (www.thorlabs.com). Liekki direct sales serves North America, Europe and Asia, supported by our representatives Apollo Electronics Co. Ltd. (China), Connet Fiber Optics Company Ltd. (China), Chon Sun Engineering Co. Ltd. (Korea), IKG Corporation (Japan) and FT Okura (Japan). For further information, please visit our website at www.liekki.com.
