Description

LightTools is an all-encompassing 3D software designed for optical engineering and design that facilitates virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and the creation of photorealistic renderings in illumination applications. By allowing users to swiftly develop illumination designs that function effectively on the first attempt, it minimizes the number of prototype iterations needed and speeds up the time it takes to bring products to market. Among its notable features are advanced solid modeling capabilities with complete optical precision, exceptional ray tracing performance that allows users to control accuracy and resolution, as well as the option to generate light sources from any geometric configuration, providing unparalleled flexibility. The software also includes specialized tools tailored for specific applications, enabling users to efficiently construct comprehensive models, along with an extensive library of sources and materials that encompasses LEDs and BSDF measurements. Furthermore, it boasts strong data exchange capabilities for mechanical CAD information and maintains an interactive, dynamic connection with SOLIDWORKS, enhancing user experience. Additionally, LightTools offers a variety of licensing options for its multiple modules, ensuring that users can select configurations that best suit their unique requirements.

Description

Polaris-M is an advanced software for optical design and polarization analysis, created by Airy Optics, Inc., that seamlessly merges ray tracing techniques with polarization mathematics, enabling 3D simulations, handling of anisotropic materials, and diffractive optics. This software, which has its roots in over ten years of research at the University of Arizona's Polarization Laboratory before being licensed to Airy Optics in 2016, boasts a vast library of more than 500 functions tailored for various optical tasks, including ray tracing, aberration evaluation, and the manipulation of polarizing elements and diffractive optics. To run Polaris-M, users must have Mathematica, which provides an extensive macro language and robust algorithms for tasks such as graphics rendering, computer algebra, interpolation, neural network functions, and numerical analysis. Comprehensive documentation accompanies the software, featuring accessible help pages that can be activated with the F1 key, guiding users through explanations, inputs, outputs, and practical examples. The user experience is further enhanced by this rich repository of resources, ensuring that users can effectively navigate and utilize the software's extensive capabilities.
