Optics and Illumination Software

TracePro^® is used for the design, analysis and optimization of optical and illumination systems. With an intuitive CAD interface and powerful interactive optimizers, TracePro offers a powerful optical design environment with a short learning curve to accelerate product development. We also offer a University program for teaching purposes.

SOLIDWORKS^® add-in

RayViz^™ is a SOLIDWORKS^® add-in that enables you to apply and save optical properties and trace rays directly in a SOLIDWORKS^® model. With RayViz, a single model is used by both TracePro for ray tracing and optical analysis, and by SOLIDWORKS^®for mechanical design and modifying optical properties to ensure data integrity.

Professional Optical Design Software

OSLO^®is a powerful and affordable open-architecture optical design program featuring industry-leading advanced raytracing. OSLO provides optical designers and engineers a full suite of layout, optimization, and analysis routines to meet modern design requirements. OSLO EDU is a free version with a subset of capability, and is especially suited for teaching optical design at university level.

A dual boost for optical delay scanning

Various applications of pulsed laser sources rely on the ability to produce a series of pulse pairs with a stepwise increasing delay between them. Implementing such optical delay scanning with high precision is demanding, in particular for long delays. Addressing this...

A new way of fabricating high-efficiency diffraction gratings for astronomical spectroscopy

Today, astronomers seek to observe the faintest and most distant objects possible. Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with apertures in the order of several dozen meters, are the next-generation facilities to do so. However, building larger telescopes is only one part...

Pump Laser Modules Show Promise for Ophthalmologic Treatments

Researchers at the Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) developed a pump laser module for ophthalmologic treatments. The module offers a cost-effective pump source for laser systems that are used to treat retinal detachments. The miniaturized module can be...
