The optical engineering discipline has entered a golden age. The computational power of personal computers has steadily increased for 20 years while costs have fallen. Similarly, the technical capability of optical design software has increased dramatically, and easy-to-use, state-of-the-art programs are available at much lower cost than in years past. The market for optical system design software traditionally has been divided into two categories: sequential lens design for imaging systems and nonsequential for nonimaging systems. Sequential lens design is based on surfaces, which define...Read full article

    optical design software
    Optical design software refers to specialized computer programs used by optical engineers, physicists, and designers to simulate, model, analyze, and optimize the performance of optical systems and components. These software tools provide a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities for designing and evaluating optical systems, including lenses, mirrors, prisms, gratings, filters, and other optical elements. Optical design software is essential for accelerating the development process,...
