Optical Design Software

Lambda Research Corporation is an innovative single-source optical design software solutions provider to the leaders in aerospace and defense, lighting, display, life sciences, industrial manufacturing, and information technology. Its seamlessly integrated suite of optical and opto-mechanical design tools includes: TracePro^® - optical design suite with a menu of translators and add-ins enabling streamlined workflow and interoperability among other commercially available optical systems design and analysis software tools, and OSLO - flexible tool for lens designers .

Illumination & Opto-Mechanical Design Software

TracePro is a comprehensive, versatile optical design software tool for modeling and analyzing the propagation of light in imaging and non-imaging optical and 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. Optical properties are assigned to materials and surfaces in the model. Source rays propagate through the model of optical system with portions of the flux of each ray allocated for absorption, specular reflection and transmission, fluorescence and scattering. From the model, you can analyze and optimize an optical system and component level contributions to its  performance.

Complementary to TracePro, optical design software products by Brandenburg are highly specialized software tools for modeling, design and simulation for applications from commercial lighting to automotive headlamps.

Lens Design Software

OSLO is a powerful optical design software tool featuring classical lens design, advanced ray tracing and analysis, optimization, and tolerancing of all types of optical imaging systems.

LensVIEW is a comprehensive database of more than 30,000 lens designs found in the U.S. and Japanese patent literature.
