Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox

Optical design and simulation, ray tracing, spot diagrams, aberrations, lens distortion, and field curvature analysis

Design and simulate optical systems using the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox™. The library enables you to:

• Create and tune custom optical designs
• Import optical designs from ZMX files
• Visualize optical designs in 2-D and 3-D
• Evaluate optical system performance by tracing rays, computing spot diagrams, and performing aberration, lens distortion, and field curvature analysis
• Optimize optical systems and optical coatings using optimization tools available in the Optimization Toolbox™
• Use glass and coating materials from comprehensive material libraries, import bulk materials, and create custom optical materials and coatings
• Interactively design optical systems with the Optical System Designer app

To get started with the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox, see Get Started with Optical Design and Simulation.

You can install the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox from the Add-On Explorer. For more information about installing add-ons, see Get and Manage Add-Ons.
