OSLO^® Optical Design Software

Overview

OSLO stands for Optics Software for Layout and Optimization of optical systems. OSLO is used primarily to determine the optimum sizes and shapes of the elements in optical systems in cameras, consumer products, communications systems, military/space applications, scientific instruments, etc. In addition, it is used to simulate the performance of optical systems, and to develop specialized software tools for optical design, testing, and manufacturing.

What types of optical systems can I design using OSLO?

OSLO can be used to design almost any optical system that involves propagating light waves. The following are some typical examples of systems that can be designed using OSLO:

Also, systems with gradient index surfaces, aspherics, diffractive surfaces and holograms, lens arrays, interferometric deformations etc. OSLO is not intended for the design of waveguides, nor for the design of eyeglasses.

OSLO Purchase

Three editions of OSLO, plus the free OSLO-EDU edition, are available to most cost effectively accommodate your design needs. Node locked and floating network licenses are available for use on a single computer with a USB hardware key and on a network respectively.

A three month Maintenance and Support Subscription is included with all licenses.
