Programs written in MATLAB 4 that has been designed. Before obtaining the programs from the World Wide Web, users are recommended to create, within their main MATLAB directory, a subdirectory (or folder), say laser, with further sub-directories dfb, diff, fabpero, fftexamp, filter, grating, slab, spontan. Within MATLAB, the effective initiation file is the M-file called matlabrc.m and this should be backed up for future reference into a second file, say matlabrb.m.
