Description

LensHH-LT is a powerful optical design software tailored for engineers focused on refractive and reflective imaging systems, providing essential functionality at a price that doesn't require an enterprise-level investment. The software offers comprehensive analyses, including ray tracing, Seidel aberrations, ray and OPD fans, as well as FFT and geometric MTF, PSF, wavefront maps, spot diagrams, field curvature, distortion, and relative illumination. Users can optimize designs through both local and global methods—utilizing multi-start approaches, basin-hopping searches, glass substitutions from complete catalogs, stock-lens matching, and saddle-point construction for discovering topologies. It supports seamless integration by reading and writing files from Zemax, Code V, OSLO, Optalix, and Optiland, ensuring that existing designs can be imported without loss. In addition to its user-friendly GUI, the software features an API, a command-line interface, and an open MCP server, enabling AI agents like Claude to automate design processes, perform optimizations, and retrieve analysis results. Priced at a one-time fee of $385, it does not require a subscription and includes a full-featured 45-day trial without the need for an account. For users with air-gapped systems, offline activation is also available, offering flexibility for various working environments. Overall, LensHH-LT stands out for its robust functionality and accessibility to engineers seeking a cost-effective solution.
