Paper Abstract
The propagation of harmonic fields through arbitrary optical components is the fundamental task in optical
modeling. Unified optical modeling by field tracing uses different techniques for different components in order
to ensure the best compromise between simulation effort and accuracy. This approach can be extended to
non-harmonic fields. With a set of harmonic fields modeling partial coherence of stationary sources is enabled.
The same approach can be applied to model the propagation of fully coherent ultrashort pulses through optical
systems, which may include for instance lenses, gratings and micro-optical components. For that we can rely
on field tracing with its numerous sophisticated propagation techniques for a single harmonic field. Methods to
reduce frequency domain sampling are presented. They allow a convenient pulse modeling in practice. Several
examples are presented using ultrashort pulse modeling with VirtualLab™.
