 TracePro and OSLO are robust tools for designing and analyzing optical systems for aerospace and defense applications. Both TracePro and OSLO have been used to design and analyze many notable NASA optical systems, including the James Webb Space Telescope, the Mars Rover cameras, and the Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph.
TracePro is used to design baffles for suppressing stray light, to analyze stray light due to scattering, diffraction, ghost images, and self-emission of infrared and longer wavelength systems, to simulate polarization effects, and for many other aspects of optical system performance. Because of its verstility and generality, TracePro has been used to simulate optical systems operating at wavelengths ranging from the extreme ultraviolet, through the visible and infrared, and out to millimeter waves. Its easy-to-use interface makes it possible to easily "pick up" the program after a period working on other projects. Its strong interoperability with CAD software minimizes the setup time needed for accurate stray light analysis.
OSLO is used to design and optimize all types of telescopes and imaging systems, to analyze and tolerance segmented mirror telescopes, and to analyze the performance of interferometer systems. Its versatile choice of optimization methods means you will converge on an optimal design much more quickly. OSLO is customizable, meaning that you can program your own custom analysis functions and integrate them into OSLO's open-architecture user interface. |
