Zemax OpticStudio: Optical Design Software for Advanced System Analysis

Zemax OpticStudio is optical design software used for the design and analysis of optical systems. It enables engineers to model, analyze, optimize, and test a wide range of optical systems including lenses, illumination systems, image projections systems, and more.

What is Zemax OpticStudio?

Zemax OpticStudio is a comprehensive optical design and analysis software application used by optical engineers and scientists. It provides a wide range of tools for modeling, optimizing, analyzing, tolerancing, and testing optical systems such as lenses, lenses systems, microscope objectives, illumination systems, camera systems, telescopes, etc.

Key features and capabilities include:

• Intuitive graphical user interface for setting up and running optical models
• Extensive catalog of glass, materials, coatings, and optical components
• Tools for automatic and manual optimization of designs to meet requirements
• Analysis tools such as ray tracing for imaging quality, polarization modeling, and stray light analysis
• Tolerance tools for analyzing sensitivity to manufacturing errors and environmental changes
• Integration with optical fabrication by exporting lens data to programs for auto-generation of fabrication and test files

Additional modules extend OpticStudio with capabilities like non-sequential ray tracing, GD&T analysis, optical system prescription generation, and connections with mechanical CAD programs.

OpticStudio aims to cover the complete end-to-end process of optical product design, with advanced analysis capabilities tailored for applications from consumer products to aerospace systems. A customizable SDK and Python scripting support extensibility and customization.
