OSLO® Optical Design Software
Some types of systems that you can design with OSLO:
IMAGING SYSTEMS Photolithography Optical Metrology Laboratory Instruments Optical Testing Spectrographs Astronomical Telescopes
LASER SYSTEMS Fiber Couplers Laser Focusing Collimators Scanners Cavity Design Beam Delivery
NONIMAGING OPTICS Illumination Systems Interferometers Solar Collectors Faceted Reflectors Condensors Light Concentrators
VISUAL SYSTEMS Microscopes Telescopes Refractometers Low Vision Aids Endoscopes Virtual Reality Night Vision OSLO (Optics Software for Layout and Optimization) is a powerfule optical design program with the scope needed to meet today's optical requirements. In addition to classical lens design features, OSLO compbines advanced ray tracing, analysis, and optimization methods with a high speed macro language to solve a wide variety of new problems. What Does OSLO Do?OSLO is primarily used to determine the optimal sizes and shapes of the components in optical 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 optical systems. With OSLO's CCL programming language, the user can develop specialized software tools for optical design, testing, and manufacturing. OSLO provides an integrated software environment that helps you complete almost any task in contemporary optical design. More than a lens design program, OSLO also provides advanced tools for designing medical instrumentation, illuminations systems and telescommunications equipment, to name typical applications. Why is OSLO the Technology Leader?OSLO was the first software to demonstrate the serious optical design could be carried out using desktop computers. Today, OSLO has been accepted as a proactical tool by companies throughtout the the world that use it to create better, lower-cost designs and manufacture them more efficiently. But optical design today goes far beyond the range of problems handled in the past. Now, optical systems are integrated with electronics and image processing software, which creates new deisgn alternatives. OSLO's technological leadership is more valuable today than ever before.
Are There Different Editions of OSLO?
OSLO 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. |
