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 7.12:   (29-March-2009)

• China-Daheng lens catalog added.
• The accuracy of the solid angle calculation (see RIRR command) has been significantly improved.
• New database item: NRAYS returns the number of rays traced at a specific field, wavelength and/or zoom position.
• A variety of test/source images have been added. These files are stored in the "\optalix\images\" directory and include colour and grey bars, Siemens star, TV test charts, USAF targets, grids and RGB colour images.
• Temperature coefficients on index of refraction (DnDT) updated and completed for OHARA glass catalogue.
• Some program glitches corrected. See details here.

Download version 7.12.
