Reduce Design Errors by Accurately Simulating All Aspects of Display Illumination

Powerful, Comprehensive Design Capabilities For State-Of-The-Art Display Systems

Vibrant discoveries are right at your fingertips with the only design software that combines optics and illumination.

• Tackle Complex Designs Design and optimize freeforms, diffractives, holograms, asymmetric/off-axis systems with state-of-the-art software. OpticStudio is as intuitive as it is powerful, and is commonly used to design optical systems with challenging limitations. For example, new head-mounted displays and short-throw projectors are typically limited in physical size, OpticStudio supports multiple configurations for modeling multiple beam paths through optics specially designed for small spaces.

• Simulate Real-World PerformanceUse an extensive range of image quality metrics, including Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), Point Spread Function (PSF), encircled energy, and more to accurately evaluate the performance of your display system. In addition, the image simulation tool efficiently models exactly what the end user will see removing any guess work.

• Increase Yield for High-Volume ManufacturingWhen designing for high-volume manufacturing you can easily account for sensitivity targets in the automated optimization process making optical systems less susceptible to variances. Additionally customized tolerancing tools in OpticStudio can simulate thousands or millions of as-built systems to generate manufacturing yield forecasts.

As the leader in physics-based software, Zemax technologies enable optical engineers to create brilliant displays for computers, mobile phones, and other electronics faster and easier with OpticStudio. Today design engineers use OpticStudio to create and optimize optical and illumination systems for LCD and LED displays. OpticStudio is the industry standard optical and illumination design software that supports the design process from end-to-end:

• Design Tools - bring your ideas to life with the industry’s most comprehensive set of optical and illumination design tools available in a single, seamless software platform

• Modeling/Simulation Tools - test your optical/illumination system design with accurate modeling and simulation tools that will minimize prototyping needs

• Optimization Tools - automatically improve the performance of your optical/illumination design based on parameter constraints you define, saving you time by eliminating manual tests of design iterations

• Tolerancing Tools - advanced tools and features that help design engineers incorporate manufacturing and assembly limits into design constraints to ensure manufacturability and production efficiency

The Industry’s Best ValueOpticStudio delivers licensing options to fit your needs with the choice of three different software Editions available via single-user and multi-user options, technical support, in-program tutorials with interactive help files, and in-person training. Zemax also minimizes your software investment risk with a 30-day money back guarantee.

Design Faster, Easier and Better With Unique Features That Improve Overall Performance

• All-In-One Optical and Illumination DesignOpticStudio is two software packages in one: an optical design package and an illumination design package. The optical design package is ideal for imaging systems, afocal systems, laser systems, fiber coupling, and many others. The illumination package is engineered for radiometric/photometric analysis, stray light analysis, opto-mechanical design, and more. Both packages are seamlessly integrated into one, intuitive user interface

• Lightning Trace® - Real-Time ModificationsA patented raytrace technology that uses ray interpolation to accelerate conventional non-sequential raytracing by orders of magnitude. With OpticStudio design engineers can modify system parameters with real-time results, and accurately optimize and tolerance systems in reasonable time periods.

• Stock Lens Matching Tool Maximizes EfficiencyAutomate the replacement of custom components in a designed system with off-the-shelf (OTS) optics. Search specific vendor catalogs or all of them. Define tolerance ranges to redesign custom components from OTS components. Decide whether the performance degradation of OTS components is worth the cost savings.

• Part Designer Expands Capability With CAD Design complex, custom CAD components within the OpticStudio environment. Parts remain fully parametric allowing optimization and tolerancing. Easily incorporate parts into a non-sequential optical system or export to CAD formats.

• Simulate Source Illumination Without Raytracing Instantaneously simulate far-field source illumination on a plane. Integrate source data from up to eight (8) sources to model far-field illumination without raytracing.

• OpticStudio Standard for Display OpticsThe workhorse Edition for optical design, includes key features and functions for sequential system design including optimization, tolerancing, and multi-configuration control of your systems, geometric and diffraction analyses, image simulation, polarization, thin-film modeling, and much more. OpticStudio Standard is the industry’s best value in optical design software...period.

• Ensure Accuracy With Measured DataReplace modeling assumptions with measured source and scatter data libraries to improve accuracy. An extensive in-program material catalog adds design capability and flexibility for faster design starts and accurate results.

• Control System IlluminationAccurately and easily measure light distribution on any object without adding additional detection surfaces. Quickly optimize light distribution on any object and use a wizard to target uniformity or customize light distribution.

• Accurately Simulate What the Human Eye SeesReplicate exactly what the human eye perceives using advanced colorimetry features, including accurate spectral models, photopic detectors, and no-sequential color mixing. Automatically optimize for tristimulus values and other industry standard color metrics to create brilliant displays.

• Model Any Display SystemPatterned microdots/microspheres for backlights, brightness enhancement films (BEFs), micro-electro mechanical (MEMs) devices are easily modeled with OpticStudio. For added modeling capability OpticStudio features a dynamic CAD link to import and optimize specialized components of a complex display system.
