Choosing an Optical Design Software Solution
Which Synopsys optical design solution is right for you?
The Optical Solutions Group at Synopsys is dedicated to helping your company develop high-performance, cost-effective optical systems and get them to market quickly. We offer software solutions and consulting engineering services to help you achieve these objectives.
I need software to model imaging or free-space telecommunication systems...
Solution: CODE V
Description: Software for designing imaging systems, where you are trying to image a point (or plane wave) in object space to a point (or plane wave) in image space. This includes any application where you want to optimize for the best image. Typical performance metrics are MTF, point spread function, and spot size. There is also functionality for maximizing fiber coupling efficiency for telecommunication, and free-space beam propagation analysis for accurate evaluation of diffraction effects.
Application Examples:
- Digital camera lenses
- Free-space photonic devices
- Grating spectrometers
- IR & UV systems
- Laser scanning systems
- Machine vision
- Medical devices
- Microlens arrays
- Microlithographic systems
- Projector systems
- Space-borne systems
- Telescopes
- Zoom lenses
I need software to model illumination system designs...
Solution: LightTools
Description: Software for designing illumination systems, where you are trying to control the distribution of light and are typically not concerned with forming an image. This includes general lighting, display uniformity, and stray light applications. You can define detailed characteristics of the light source, and trace millions of rays to optimize any desired illumination pattern on a receiver.
Application Examples:
- Backlit displays
- General lighting
- LED-based sources
- Lightpipes
- Machine vision
- Medical devices
- Projector systems
- Runway lighting
- Stray light simulations
- Traffic control
- Solar concentrators
- Vehicle interior lighting
