What are OSLO's features? OSLO is a large program, with thousands of internal commands and functions. Moreover, the executable module of OSLO is routinely modified and recompiled by users. As a result, it is not possible to give a complete list of specifications for what the program can do. The...
Question When I click on any cell in the spreadsheet, the whole cell gets highlighted. If I want to change only a part of the value in the cell, I have to click in the command line. Is there a way to get around this? In Excel, I can double-click my mouse or Press [F2] key to accomplish this. ...
Question I am using OSLO-EDU and I am having trouble understanding how to perform an optimization in OSLO. I think it would help me if you can demonstrate a very simple optimization task: How do I use OSLO to optimize the radius and conic of a mirrored surface to solve for a specific set of foci...
Schwarz is a catoptric (i.e. containing only mirrors) system often used as a microscope objective. The system shows the use of reflective imaging surfaces, as well as the use of a star command to enter data for a common system. The Schwarzschild objective is a convex-concave mirror system in which...
Question How do I set up a cylindrical lens in OSLO? If I want the orientation of the cylinder of the lens to be oriented in the orthogonal direction, how do I do that? Synopsis Setting up a cylindrical lens in OSLO Solution For purposes of discussion, we will assume that you want to make surface 3...
Question Amit Itagi "Hi, I am looking for a numerical technique to model light propagation through a particular device. The device is a waveguide lens. I have a planar dielectric waveguide with a thickness on the length scale of a wavelength. But the width is on the length scale of mm's. The...
