Abstract
The Miro software is being developed for simulating propagation and amplification of laser beams in laser Nd- amplified setups as Megajoules or NIF. The physical effects taken into account are essentially: saturated amplification, absorption, Kerr effect, birefringence and aberration. The models of propagation are either non linear geometrical optics of parallel beams, or Fresnel diffraction. Reverse calculation is also possible. A graphic user interface has been included to allow interactive management of optical chain and results. A Unix environment with X-Windows ans Motif is required to run Miro.
