Question I have created an Elliptical Reflector in TracePro, and the ray trace results look good. Now, I need a Sag Table to send out to have the Reflector manufactured. How do I get this data? Synopsis Obtaining a Sag Table from a Reflector Solution You can perform a Grid Raytrace with a...
Question I am trying to perform some Monte Carlo tolerance analysis, but I am having trouble interpreting what some of the output data means. Can you please indicate where I can find an explanation of the Monte Carlo tolerance analysis output?
Anaprism shows the use of tilted and decentered surfaces, prisms, and the 3-dimensional drawing routines that allow OSLO to draw a pictures of any solid objects that can be specified as a series of vertices and faces.The optical system itself is sometimes used to convert an elliptical diode laser...
Question Is it possible that TracePro can import a BMP file (i.e. a color picture ) as a light source? and what should I do? Synopsis Importing Bitmap (bmp) files as a source Solution There is an optional Bitmap Source Module that can be used to create source files from bmp and other image files,...
Question I have read through the online help page introducing how to create a private lens database, but I am still lost. How do I specify which folders or directories I want to be included in my private lens database?
Question I would like to simulate fiber-to-fiber coupling. How can I do this in OSLO? Synopsis Performing fiber-to-fiber coupling in OSLO Solution "Fiber-to-fiber coupling is achieved by performing a series of steps in OSLO: Model the end of the initial fiber as a beam waist using the...
EXPLANATION/CLARIFICATION The message "TracePro is not responding" may appear in the Title Bar of the TracePro Application Window. The message and location strongly suggest (1) that something is wrong, and (2) that the message was generated by TracePro, but that is not the case. This message is...
Question "This routine provides a graphical interface to design Offner imaging spectrometers. It is based on the sliders of Joseph M. Howard (see ref. 1) and is an implementation in OSLO ccl programing language of the equations presented in ref. 2.References:1. J.M. Howard, "Optical design using...
Question Could you briefly explain the difference in your different optimization options(OSLO, GENII etc.)? Synopsis The difference in optimization options (OSLO, GENII etc.) Solution In order to perform an optimization in OSLO, you need to have an "Error Function" consisting of operands. The user...
