Product Literature

TracePro Expert for Display ApplicationsThe development of optical systems, sources, and components involves adherence to various system performance criteria including spatial and angular light output distribution, uniformity, intensity, and spectral characteristics. Achieving these criteria quickly with a manufacturable and cost effective design requires modeling software that is powerful, easy-to-use and accurate. TracePro, renowned in the scientific community for the accuracy of its simulations, offers lighting designers the confidence that the performance and aesthetics of finished products will concur with the simulated design without costly prototype iterations.

TracePro for Display and Back Light Design

TracePro is a comprehensive, versatile software tool for modeling the propagation of light in imaging and non-imaging opto-mechanical systems. Models are created by importing from a lens design program or a CAD program or by directly creating the solid geometry in TracePro. Source rays propagate through the model with portions of the flux of each ray allocated for absorption, specular reflection and transmission, fluorescence and scattering. From the model, analyze:

• Light distributions in illumination systems
• Stray light, scattered light and aperture diffraction
• Throughput, loss, or system transmittance
• Flux or power absorbed by surfaces and bulk media
• Polarization effects
• Fluorescence effects of phosphors
• Birefringence effects
• CIE plots
