Optimization
TracePro streamlines the prototype-to-manufacturing process for optical and illumination systems using 2D symmetric and 3D non-symmetric optimization. Different from traditional optimizers, TracePro's Optimization Utilities offer easy-to-use and unique capabilities to interactively monitor and...
Obtaining a Sag Table from a Reflector
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...
Describing Monte Carlo tolerance analysis output
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?
Beam TLC: ANAPRISM.LEN - A Beam Circularizer for Diode Lasers
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...

Importing Bitmap (bmp) files as a source
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,...
Creating a private lens library using OSLO's database function
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?
Performing fiber-to-fiber coupling in OSLO
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...
