Description

FRED is an all-encompassing software solution designed to model the behavior of light in optomechanical systems through ray tracing techniques. It accommodates both coherent and incoherent light paths and enables users to apply realistic surface characteristics to each system component. Among its notable features are the rapid and precise simulation of a variety of light sources, including lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and custom ray sets defined by users. The software also includes sophisticated geometry handling, scattering capabilities, optimization tools, scripting options, and graphical utilities, allowing for meticulous control over ray tracing parameters during the simulations. Additionally, it offers extensive post-tracing analysis tools and reports, facilitates real-time visualization and modification of intricate optical and mechanical configurations, and boasts high extensibility through user-generated scripts. Ultimately, FRED serves as a fundamental resource for the effective propagation of light within optomechanical frameworks, making it invaluable for researchers and engineers in the field.

Description

Integrating Monte Carlo ray tracing, analytical methods, CAD import/export capabilities, and optimization techniques, this system employs a comprehensive macro language to tackle various challenges in illumination design and optical analysis effectively. With TracePro’s intuitive 3D CAD interface, users can build models by either importing lens design or CAD files or by directly generating solid geometries. The software leverages a true solid modeling engine to deliver reliable and consistent models for various applications. Moreover, TracePro features a swift and precise ray tracing engine that accurately traces rays to all surfaces, including imported splines, ensuring that no intersections are overlooked and preventing the occurrence of “leaky” rays. One of the standout features of TracePro is its Analysis Mode, which provides a highly interactive environment for in-depth examination. In this mode, users can evaluate every surface and object both visually and quantitatively, enhancing the overall analytical experience. This blend of capabilities makes TracePro a powerful tool for professionals in the field.
