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 supports end‑to‑end optics workflows, enabling 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 coatings as part of broader optics design workflows using tools available in Optimization Toolbox™
• Use glass and coating materials from comprehensive material libraries, import bulk materials, and create custom optical materials and coatings
• Interactively analyze and design optical systems with the Optical System Designer app

To get started with the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox, see Optical System Design and Analysis. Explore examples on how you can analyze and build optical systems and coatings.

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.
