Spectral Analysis Code

PrismSPECT is a collisional-radiative spectral analysis code designed to simulate the atomic and radiative properties of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.

For a grid of user-specified plasma conditions, PrismSPECT computes spectral properties (emission and absorption) and ionization properties for LTE and non-LTE plasmas.

In designing PrismSPECT, a strong emphasis has been placed on making it easy to use. It features a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up problems, monitoring the progress of simulations, and viewing results.

PrismSPECT is generally distributed with a set of atomic data for atomic elements from hydrogen through argon (Z = 1 - 18). For information on obtaining data for other elements.

Imaging and Spectral Analysis Suite

SPECT3D is a multi-D collisional-radiative spectral analysis code designed to simulate the atomic and radiative properties of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.

SPECT3D is generally used to post-process the results of radiation-hydrodynamics simulations or particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. SPECT3D computes spectral properties (emission and absorption) and ionization properties for LTE and non-LTE plasmas.

Radiation-Hydrodynamics Code

HELIOS is a 1-D radiation-hydrodynamics code designed to study the hydrodynamic evolution of radiating plasmas. It can be used to study the evolution of planar, cylindrical, or spherical plasmas heated by laser beams or by external radiation sources.

3-D CAD/Thermal Radiation Code

VISRAD is a 3-D thermal radiation and CAD code that simulates the reflection, emission and absorption of light radiation throughout a complex system of surfaces. This view factor code features a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up 3-D object grids and displaying results from directed laser light and thermal radiation calculations.
