Low-cost analysis software for optical design

摘要

Caused by several personal wishes for special features in an optical design program, which were not found in commercial software, and caused by the need of an easy documentation and handling of standard optical components from the catalog a new low cost optical analysis software was created. Meanwhile this analysis software grew up to a very useful optical design program. The intention for the development, the state today, and some special features of the software will be discussed.
