• Page 3 of 74 1 About This Guide Congratulations on your purchase of ZEMAX! ZEMAX is the industry standard optical system design software, combining sequential lens design, analysis, optimization.

OpticStudio is optical and illumination design software used to simulate virtually any system that interacts with light. It provides a complete suite of analyses to determine how a designed system performs. If performance needs to be improved, sophisticated optimization algorithms put the full power of your multi-core computer to the task. Before a design is ready to be fabricated, simulate the effects of fabrication and assembly errors using extensive tolerancing capabilities. Common applications include cameras, telescopes, microscopes, endoscopes, lasers, fiber couplers, heads-up displays, automobile headlights, street lights, and many others. Customers span the gamut of advanced technology industries including defense/aerospace, biomedical, automotive, consumer electronics, machine vision, and more.

Harness the power of Zemax optics software. By harnessing the power of OpticStudio®, OpticsBuilder™, and OpticsViewer™, optical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers can speak the same language across the optical product development process.

Customers work on such a wide array of applications that custom programming capabilities are a necessity. OpticStudio provides the ability to communicate with MATLAB or any other COM/.NET enabled program. Users typically drive OpticStudio from MATLAB using scripts or UI elements. The capability allows users to define/change optical systems, run any analysis and return data, optimize and tolerance. Nearly any task possible manually can be done through the COM/.NET interface. In addition, a simplified scripting language (ZPL) is supported for automating tasks inside OpticStudio.

Zemax is a company that sells optical design software.^[1] OpticStudio is its flagship product and a commonly used optical designprogram for Microsoft Windows.^[2][3][4][5] It is used for the design and analysis of both imaging and illumination systems.

History[edit]

OpticStudio, then called Zemax, was originally written by Ken Moore and was the first optical design program specifically written for Windows.^[6][7] It became commercially available in 1990.^[8] The first version was called Max, named after the programmer's dog. The name was later changed to Zemax due to a trademark conflict.^[6] The software was rebranded as OpticStudio in 2016.^[9]

The program was originally sold by Focus Software, which later became Zemax Development Corp.^[10] The latter merged with Radiant Imaging in 2011 to form Radiant Zemax.^[4] In 2014 Radiant sold Zemax to Arlington Capital Partners, which named the company Zemax, LLC.^[11] Arlington Capital Partners sold Zemax to EQT June 26, 2018.^[12]

Features and applications[edit]

OpticStudio is an optical design program that is used to design and analyze imaging systems such as camera lenses, as well as illumination systems. It works by ray tracing—modelling the propagation of rays through an optical system. It can model the effect of optical elements such as simple lenses, aspheric lenses, gradient-index lenses, mirrors, and diffractive optical elements, and can produce standard analysis diagrams such as spot diagrams and ray-fan plots.^[10][13] OpticStudio can also model the effect of optical coatings on the surfaces of components.^[10] It includes a library of stock commercial lenses.^[14] OpticStudio can perform standard sequential ray tracing through optical elements, non-sequential ray tracing for analysis of stray light, and physical optics beam propagation. It also has tolerancing capability, to allow analysis of the effect of manufacturing defects and assembly errors.^[15]

The physical optics propagation feature can be used for problems where diffraction is important, including the propagation of laser beams and the coupling of light into single-mode optical fibers.^[16] OpticStudio's optimization tools can be used to improve an initial lens design by automatically adjusting parameters to maximize performance and reduce aberrations.^[17]
