Glass Dispersion vs. V-Number – Terms Explained Clearly
Question I notice that when I edit my wavelengths in OSLO, the V-number of my glasses seems to change. I thought that the V-number of a glass was calculated based on certain set wavelengths and was independent of the wavelengths you model the glass for. How does OSLO define glass dispersion and v...
TracePro Product Information
Illumination systems are designed using TracePro by iterating through small changes in the geometry or properties. Often this optimization is done manually, but the 3D Optimizer can do it automatically. In either case, the following steps are required:
OSLO Zoom and Multiconfiguration Systems
OSLO uses the term Zoom lens to refer to a system in which the thicknesses (spacings) between elements or element groups can have multiple values to achieve variable magnification. OSLO contains routines needed for optimization of zoom lenses. OSLO contains, in addition, routines for optimizing...

LASER CAVITY DESIGN
The Gaussian beam spreadsheet provides an easy way to interactively design systems that work with Gaussian beams. We will consider the design of a cavity for a hypothetical Nd:YAG laser. The task is to design a cavity to support single transverse mode oscillation in a YAG rod. The YAG rod is 0.5mm...

RayViz for SOLIDWORKS
Efficient Tool for Managing Optical and Mechanical Design Workflow RayViz is an add-in to SOLIDWORKS that allows users to apply and save optical properties and trace rays directly in the SOLIDWORKS CAD model. With RayViz, a single model is used by both TracePro (for ray tracing and optical...
