What Does OSLO Do?

OSLO is primarily used in lens design to determine the optimal sizes and shapes of the components in optics systems. OSLO has the capability of modeling a wide range of reflective, refractive and diffractive components. In addition, OSLO is used to simulate and analyze the performance of optics systems. With OSLO's CCL programming language, you can develop specialized optics optics and lens design software tools for modeling, testing, and manufacturing optics systems.

OSLO provides an integrated software environment that helps you complete almost any task in contemporary optics design. More than a lens design software, OSLO also provides advanced tools for designing medical instrumentation, illuminations systems and telecommunications equipment, to name typical applications.		  View the 4 page OSLO brochure in pdf format 

Why is OSLO the Technology Leader?

OSLO was the first software to demonstrate the serious optics and lens design could be carried out using desktop computers. Today, OSLO has been accepted as a practical tool by companies throughtout the the world that use it to create better, lower-cost designs and manufacture them more efficiently. But optics design today goes far beyond the range of problems handled in the past. Now, optics systems are integrated with electronics and image processing software, which creates new design alternatives. And OSLO's technological leadership in optics and lens design software is more valuable today than ever before.

Are There Different Editions of OSLO?

OSLO lens design software is available in three levels called OSLO Premium , OSLO Standard and OSLO Light . The features in each edition is a subset of the features found in the next highest edition. Each edition is a full-featured program that can help you design superior systems. A free edition (OSLO-EDU) is available in the OSLO-EDU section but is limited to 10 surfaces.
