LASERS / OPTICS / VACUUM

Explore the physics.
Shape the design.

Scientific software for understanding how an instrument will behave before you build it.

Deep Desert Labs develops tools for laser design, optical layouts, vacuum modeling, and beam profiling.

02 / OUR APPROACH

Useful models start
with clear assumptions.

We are building software that makes the connection between a design and its physical behavior easier to explore. Our approach pairs accessible layouts with deeper models, stated operating limits, and checks against known results.
