Second Generation Technology Update
Beginning of a paradigm shift in optical modeling and design
Highlights and Benefits
Physical optics modeling often as fast as ray tracing.
•
Automatic modeling selection enables physical optics modeling as easy as the application of ray tracing.
•
Easy switching between ray tracing and physical optics modeling.
•
Inclusion of Maxwell solvers for gratings, diffractive lenses and HOEs on planar and curved surfaces.
•
Full flexibility of non-sequential modeling configuration including all or a customized selection of surfaces and gratings orders.
•
Design of diffractive lenses with fabrication data export.
•
Switching between sequential and non-sequential modeling forth and back in the same system setup.
•
Sophisticated source models including lasers, laser diodes with astigmatism, VCSELs, LEDs, partially coherent, fs pulse and x-ray sources.
•
Unsurpassed flexibility to define detector functions including energy quantities, polarization, coherence, spatiotemporal fs pulse quantities, amplitude and phase, dot diagrams, wavefront error, and aberrations.
•
Integration of customized sources, surfaces, media, detectors and user-defined physical models in ray tracing and physical optics without mentionable reduction of modeling performance.
