A diode-pumped Nd:YVO₄ microlaser made to lase at the short 914 nm line. The rear mirror has an awkward specification: transparent at the 808 nm pump and nearly totally reflecting at 914 nm, only 106 nm away. The layer thicknesses of that multilayer were chosen with MC Grating's optimization feature run on a structure with no grating at all, which the software treats as a plain multilayer stack.

Step-by-step example: Section 4.2 of the step-by-step examples reproduces the mirror design, adapted to demo mode.
