Round-trip Type
The command also can be invoked by double-clicking on the round-trip type icon in the status bar.
SW, Standing wave system
A product of elements’ matrices is calculated over system double pass (round-trip), a beam passes through each element twice (excluding boundary elements).
RR, Ring resonator
A beam passes through each element once. After the last element (rightmost), the beam comes into the first one (leftmost) again.
SP, Single-pass system
In this case, a beam comes into the first schema element (leftmost) and goes out from the last one (rightmost).
To set the input beam parameters, you can use the command Setup Input Beam.
