Optimization Module for TracePro

Optimizing Illumination Systems

Modeling illumination systems is a complex task that is facilitated with automated algorithms that systematically vary the model’s geometric parameters to achieve optimum illumination distributions. These algorithms allow users to quickly generate starting designs, test design alternatives, and validate the final design iteration and its performance criteria.

OptiBelPro™ TracePro Optimization Add-In

TracePro’s Optimization module is a non-linear optimization module based on TracePro’s macro language, Scheme.  The module consists of two components: a program that manages the request to optimize a set of parameters and macros that perform and analyze changes in the model.  Maximum flexibility and optimization versatility is achieved by utilizing TracePro’s macro language to set-up the model. Utilize the optimization flexibility of the module to modify analysis functions.  Define custom merit functions for arbitrary number of optimizations to create user-defined performance criteria.  Optimization is done outside the macro processor, however, to realize fast calculations. With the optimization module, users significantly accelerate the iterative design process while increasing optical analysis efficiency and productivity in illumination system design – all without sacrificing control over the design process.
