During the optimization phase of optical design, the apertures of lens elements are usually irrelevant. The curvatures and thicknesses determine the ray trajectories, while the apertures only determine whether or not rays can pass through the system. Accordingly, OSLO is arranged so that the beams...
The link below is a zip file that contains OSLO *.len files that demonstrate the different features and capabilities of OSLO. (Please note that these same files are included in the installation of OSLO). OSLOLensDemos.zip
Question I am trying to draw multiple configurations superposed on the same lens drawing (without resetting the graphics window). I am using the cfg, drl and drr commands, but I can't seem to get the window to stop erasing between the drawing of the different configurations. How can I do this? ...
Diodassy is an example of combining two other systems to collimate the beam from an astigmatic diode laser. OSLO can accommodate astigmatic sources directly, without the need for an ancillary system that provides an approximate model. The example shows the use of spot diagrams and...
