Synopsys’ Optical Solutions Group is a leading developer of optical design and analysis tools that model all aspects of light propagation, enabling users to produce accurate virtual prototypes leading to manufacturable optical systems.
The Group’s innovative software packages include CODE V imaging design software, LightTools illumination design software, and the LucidShape products for automotive lighting. These packages are integrated with RSoft Photonic Device Tools for streamlined, multi-domain co-simulations of nano-textured optical structures and diffraction analysis. With these tools, precision light scattering measurements and equipment for high-accuracy optical product simulations and visualizations are offered.
The LucidShape product family provides a complete set of design and analysis tools for automotive lighting. With dedicated algorithms optimized for automotive applications, LucidShape facilitates the design of automotive forward, rear and signal lighting and reflectors. In addition, the LucidDrive tool provides night driving simulations that generate nearly photorealistic lighting scenes in real time, which allows designers to evaluate beam patterns of vehicle headlamps quickly and accurately prior to expensive fabrication and testing.
CODE V is used for the optimization, analysis, and tolerancing of image-forming optical systems and free-space photonic devices. CODE V combines superior engineering capabilities with the control and access of an intuitive user interface. Its many unique capabilities include the most powerful local and global optimization for optics, MTF-based tolerancing, environmental analysis, partial coherence analysis, gradient index and DOE/HOE support, polarization ray tracing, and lens cost appraisal. It is easy to share CODE V’s optimization and analytic capabilities with other scientific and engineering applications through its COM interface, enabling a seamless, end-to-end design solution. As the industry-standard design and analysis software for optical engineers worldwide, CODE V is unmatched in function, quality, accuracy, ease of use, and technical support.
LightTools is a complete optical design and analysis software product featuring virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and photorealistic renderings of precision illumination applications. Its robust 3D modeling technology delivers the inherent accuracy required to simulate ray paths of light as they travel through and within optical elements and mechanical structures. The fully integrated system optimization tool improves the performance of virtually any type of illumination system, dramatically reducing the time required to finalize a design. From LCD displays to vehicle lighting to projector systems, LightTools supports all aspects of illumination design projects.
The RSoft Photonic Device Tools provide the industry’s broadest selection of simulators and optimizers for passive and active photonic and optoelectronic devices, including lasers and VCSELs. These tools are integrated with Synopsys optical and semiconductor design tools for streamlined, multi-domain co-simulations, including:
