Our advanced optimization algorithms and user-friendly interface streamline the design process, reducing development time and enhancing productivity. With CODE V, you can confidently deliver high-quality optical systems on time and within budget.
Save Time with Built-In Intelligence
CODE V incorporates built-in intelligence to optimize your design process and enhance performance. Our Global Synthesis AI delivers the best design solutions as quickly as possible, while Glass Expert selects the optimal set of glasses to maximize design performance and control manufacturing costs. With built-in tolerancing features, CODE V ensures fast and accurate analysis, making it easy to avoid costly manufacturing mistakes down the road. These intelligent tools enable you to focus on innovation and quality.
Perform Accurate Diffraction Analysis
Accurate diffraction analysis is crucial for the development of high-performance optical systems. CODE V's Beam Synthesis Propagation (BSP) sets the standard for precision and efficiency in diffraction analysis. This powerful tool uses a beamlet-based algorithm with proprietary enhancements to deliver extremely accurate modeling of diffracted wavefronts. Whether you're working on laser scanning systems, segmented aperture systems, or any other application requiring precise diffraction analysis, CODE V's BSP ensures you achieve the highest level of accuracy and performance.
