Took me several hours to get fiberdesk compiled with the latest Visual Studio Community 2013. All libaries and the Win SDK needed to be synchronized. Seems that the libaries have not yet been prepared for this release so it was a lot of manual tweeking ...

new release - fiberdesk 5

fiberdesk 5 comes with an improved adaptive algorithm, equation parser and new options.

For all customers using version 4, the updates are provided via fiberdesk 5 (lite), where some new features are disabled. Nevertheless they will benefit from bug fixes and other updates.

The GUI is modern Win 8 style.

toward version 5

... these are the final fixes until the new release. There has been a complete rewritten core code with parsing and improved adaptive control. Here is a nice new video showing multi order stimulated Raman scattering (broadband) via the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation.

At each point of conversion, the energy drops due to quantum defect as shown in the measurement window:

Additionally, free parameters have been added. This allows simultaneous variation of other parameters by assignment while only the free parameter is changed. For instance: parameter "a" is set as the central wavelength for the high reflecting and low reflecting mirror and the resulting cavity simulation will show the behaviour for different wavelength in a one-dimensional parameter variation of "a".
