TracePro Introductory Tutorials
New to TracePro? These three tutorials build your foundation in sequence: model setup, ray tracing, and reading analysis results. Each works in every TracePro edition, including the trial. Request one here if you don't have TracePro installed yet.
Gaussian Beam Apodization & Apertures – Clearing Up Confusion
Question "I am attempting to acquaint myself with the Gaussian Beam propagation options in OSLO (ABCD Analysis, Astigmatic Gaussian Beam and Fiber Coupling). I have read and followed the "Gaussian Beam and Fiber Coupling" tutorial offered on your website. The problem is that when I change the...
RayViz Current Release
This page hosts the current production release of RayViz™, Lambda Research's SOLIDWORKS® add-in for tracing and visualizing rays directly in your CAD model. RayViz shares its release cycle with TracePro, so the current versions match. If you use both, update them together for full model...
Extinction Coefficient Fluorescence: Applying Properties of Quantum Efficiency, Peak Molar Extinction, and Molar Concentration
Question When applying a Fluorescence Property in TracePro, the Apply Properties dialog requires input values for the following parameters: Quantum Efficiency Peak Molar Extinction Molar Concentration Where can I get more information about what these values represent SynopsisApply Properties -...
Problems with OSLO Linux
Question I am currently trying OSLO for Linux, but I am experiencing some user interface problems (window control, graphics not being updated, crashing, ...etc.). Are you targeting a specific Linux distribution that will work better than others? Synopsis Problems with OSLO Linux Solution ...
LASRDBLT.LEN - A MONOCHROMATIC AIR-SPACED DOUBLET
Lasrdblt is the final design of the air-spaced doublet. The example here uses this design to illustrate the thermal analysis capabilities of OSLO. The lasrdblt.len file is the finished design from the air-spaced doublet study presented elsewhere. You can see from the ray analysis below that the...
Locating the Landscape Lens file
Question I am currently reading the OSLO Optics Reference 6.1 manual. On page 11 of the hardcopy version (page 20 of the electronic version), I am asked to open the "Landscape 1.len" file. I don_t seem to have this file. Where do I find it? Synopsis Locating the Landscape Lens file Solution ...
Non-isotropic media and OSLO
Question Can OSLO handle non-isotropic media, such as Quartz? Synopsis Non-isotropic media and OSLO Solution OSLO has the capability of tracing rays through uniaxial birefringent materials such as calcite (PremiumEdition only). In the physical world, a ray incident upon a birefringent material will...
