IfoCAD
IfoCAD is a software library for simulating precision laser interferometry.
IfoCAD is a software library that was originally written for the design and optimization of laser interferometers. It exists in two versions: the original version written by Gerhard Heinzel, which is written in the programming language C, and an extended version in C++.
The original C version is archived but currently unavailable. The C++ version is continuously being developed and its publication is currently under preparation.
