OpTaliX^® Software for Optical System Design, Thin-Films and Illumination

First 16 modes in fibers.

OpTaliX is a powerful and comprehensive program for computer aided design of optical systems, thin film multilayer coatings and illumination systems. OpTaliX provides powerful features to conceptualize, design, optimize, analyze, tolerance and document virtually any optical system. OpTaliX includes geometrical and diffraction analysis, optimization, thin film multilayer analysis and refinement, non-sequential ray trace, physical optics propagation, polarization analysis, ghost imaging, tolerance analysis, extensive manufacturing support, user defined graphics, illumination, macros, and many more. OpTaliX is successfully used for the design of photographic and video lenses, industrial optics (beam expander, laser scanners, reproduction, machine vision), space optics, zoom optics, medical optics, illumination devices, fiber optical telecom systems, infrared optics, X-ray optics, telescopes, eyepieces, and many more. OpTaliX is available in three editions, called OpTaliX-Pro, OpTaliX-Edu and OpTaliX-LT.

What's new in Version 7.42:   (18-July-2010)

• New glasses added:
  
  • In the Schott catalogue : P-LASF51, P-LASF50, P-SK58A, P-SK60, P-LAK35, P-SF68
  • In the Ohara catalogue : L-TIH53, L-LAH84, L-LAH85, L-LAH86, L-LAH87, L-BBH1, S-FPM2, S-LAH55V, S-LAH65V
  • In the Special catalogue : LITHOSIL-Q
• Non-sequential surface ranges may now include the object plane. This allows full non-sequential modeling of optical systems and eliminates some previous restrictions.



• Options for transmission analysis have been extended. Transmission plot vs. wavelength now allows selection of polarization planes.
• Aspheric surface deformation may now stored in XYZ-files which are compatible with Zygo interferometers.
• Improved import of coating design files in MacLeod format (*.dds). If unknown layer materials are detected during import, alternative materials may be specified in a dialog box.
• Export to Zemax now supports global surface references.
• The page setup dialog does include the "printer..." button again on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
