			<title><![CDATA[How to Convert from RSoft Simulations to ZEMAX and Back]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[This tutorial illustrates how to convert information from ZEMAX into RSoft&#8217;s propagation software and back. This can be useful for multi-stage cases in which one part of the system is a bulk optical system, and&nbsp;a waveguide&nbsp;in others. In this example, we will look at the coupling from a focusing lens into a small silica fiber. <br/><br/>We will first create output information from ZEMAX and then convert these files into field files that can be used for a BPM propagation. The result will be that ZEMAX is used to propagate a Gaussian complex amplitude through a bulk optical system, and focus it at the input face of a single mode fiber. The resulting complex amplitude is then imported into RSoft software and propagated through the fiber. The resulting data can then be read back into ZEMAX if needed.]]></description>
