September 2005 - ORA is pleased to announce CODE V
release 9.6, which delivers powerful new capabilities in
optical system modeling, tolerancing, and optimization to this
popular optical design and analysis software package. For
example, the software now calculates the scalar diffraction
efficiency of a diffractive surface and includes this in all
diffraction analyses. This is particularly useful in the
design of spectrometers and other grating systems, as well as
for applications in aerospace and consumer products using
kinoforms. CODE V 9.6 also improves the process of modeling
complex optical systems with a new, simplified method for
defining offset, tilted surfaces, and enhanced capabilities
for specifying user-programmed surfaces and diffractive phase
profiles.
In the area of tolerancing, CODE V 9.6 enhancements include
a singular value decomposition algorithm that will
automatically select the best subset of compensation
parameters from a larger set of choices available to users.
This will improve as-built performance during actual assembly
of optical systems. Also, tolerancing data is now more readily
exported to other software programs for manipulation and
analysis. And, in terms of optimization, CODE V 9.6
capabilities have been extended with additional built-in
constraint types, along with more flexibility for defining the
optimization ray grid that will be a particular advantage for
the design of wide angle-of-view systems.
CODE V 9.6 is now available. For more information, please send an email to info@opticalres.com.
