Often optics have to conform to the limitations imposed by
compact packaging. RayCAD allows you to model optic and
mechanical as one. The optical design isn't off floating in
space. You get real visual input - see exactly how it all
fits together. |
|
|
Automatically generate custom optical components. There's
also a catalog of more than 650 Melles Griot lenses and
Corning aspherics to be used as they are or modified to suit
your needs. |
|
|
Sequential as well as non-sequential propagation
from anywhere, in any direction. Multiple sources of any
configuration can be precisely and easily modeled using
nearly unlimited numbers of input rays. |
|
|
Input rays can be associated with several wavelengths. A
selection of glass manufacturers are provided. Also, custom
index tables can be used. |
|
|
Ray intersections can be studied close up and viewed from
any direction. AutoCAD's Zoom, Dview and Orbit give great
flexibility in evaluating a design. |
|
|
Optimization allows interactive moving and rotating
components, changing curvatures, and immediately see the
results. Automatic focusing and collimation is also
provided. |
|
|
Spot diagrams let you analyze the image. The image can be
projected onto any surface in the layout. |
|
|
If you are using ZEMAX, our interface allows import and
export of optical data files. |
|
|
Use the Render-Ready feature with a rendering package to
simulate transparency, diffusion, reflection and refraction
of surface properties, and define shadows. The design is
rendered, complete with rays traced, to create a
photorealistic picture. |
|
|
Wavelength diffraction is easily accomplished using
echelles, holographic and ruled gratings. |
|
|
The Adjust command provides an easy way to study ray intersections,
adjusting surface parameters like location, direction
and surface curvature while getting instantaneous
feedback in the form of ray trace, spot diagrams and
spot size expressed in RMS. It provides an excellent
way to fine-tune your optical design. |
|
|
Even Aspheric using 8
coefficients. The even aspheric surface uses the even
powers of the radial distance to describe the
asphericity. |
|
|
Odd Aspheric using 8
coefficients. The odd aspheric uses even and odd powers
of the radial distance to describe the asphericity. |
|
|
Decentering of surfaces
enables off axis surface generation. |
|
|
Scattering traces. Each
refractive surface will cast a new reflected ray. This
can be up to 5 branches deep. |
|
|
RMS (Root Mean Square).
Value is computed when performing a Grid trace. |
|
|
Mirror Rotation takes into account the half angle due to reflection, so
you can simply point to where the reflection needs to be
and the mirror will rotate half of that angle. |
|
|
Gratings ind the appropriate order. If wavelength falls outside
the free spectrum, the appropriate order is found and
used. This enables you to trace wavelengths covering
many orders. |
|
|
Save and load wave
selection. This is useful if a long list of wavelengths
has been created. |
|
|
Use existent input rays.
You can change wavelengths and color association without
gathering input rays each time. |
|
|
Automatic erasing of the
last trace can be turned on, there by eliminating the
"Erase last trace Y/N" prompt. |
|
|
Spot ID's are kept and will
automatically erase between traces, just like rays. |
|
|
Random ray and random spot
count can be controlled. |
|
|
Number of intersects per
ray per surface can be limited to prevent endless TIR.
