Optica 3 builds on the functionality of Mathematica to calculate wavefront interference and diffraction, Gaussian beam propagation, ABCD matrix models, and analytic representations of optical systems. It enables real-time control and optimization of your optical system component parameters with Mathematica sliders, locator buttons, and input fields. This Mathematica application package offers the following features:
- Generalized language for describing optical systems in three-dimensional space
- Sequential and non-sequential ray tracing in three-dimensional space
- Comprehensive library of optical components and optical materials
- Numerous design examples with frequent updates
- Arbitrary, user-defined optical surface profiles of any shape and format
- User-defined optical surface properties
- Analytic parametric descriptions of optical surface shapes
- Symbolic parameterization of optical system characteristics
- Optimization of arbitrary system parameters
- Polarization ray tracing and birefringence
- Energy calculations including gain, absorption, and Lambertian scattering
- Randomized light sources and Monte Carlo ray tracing
