About us
Synopsys Optical Solutions, formerly Optical Research Associates (ORA), is one of the world’s leading developers of optical design and analysis tools -- CODE V® imaging design software and LightTools® illumination design software. The group is also an independent supplier of optical systems design services, with more than 5,000 completed projects in imaging, illumination and optical systems engineering. In May 2012, Synopsys acquired RSoft Design Group, expanding the company’s portfolio of optical design and analysis software products. With the RSoft™ products, Synopsys has augmented the CODE V and LightTools product lines to provide a full spectrum of photonic and optical design solutions. In February 2014, Synopsys acquired Brandenburg, maker of the LucidShape line of CAD software for the design of automotive forward, rear and signal lighting and reflectors, as well as for general lighting. In addition to design software, Brandenburg offers LucidDrive for night driving simulation that generates almost photorealistic lighting scenes in real time. Designers use it to quickly and accurately evaluate beam patterns of vehicle headlamps prior to expensive fabrication and testing. Most top-tier car companies and their lighting OEMs use Brandenburg products.

Researchers have implemented a compound-eye imaging system for close-up photography, using a discrete microlens array (MLA). This system was designed with our software, CODE V, considering key parameters such as the focal length, object distance, and aperture size. The compact system offers a large depth of field and high resolution, making it suitable for applications requiring a short conjugate distance and small device volume. The optical design process involved intricate calculations and optimizations, showcasing the capabilities of CODE V.

#NewFeatureFriday Multi-Environment Coupling in CODE V, a game-changing feature! It facilitates modeling and optimization of athermalized spacer-based lens designs across different environmental conditions. You can also export these models to LightTools for deeper analysis! We didn't stop there! CODE V now includes a new visualization tool in V3D that aids athermalization in optical design. It provides insights into how the housing interacts with glass elements and their interconnections, removing the need for extensive knowledge of the optomechanical mount.

A new paper proposes an optimization method that balances imaging and tolerance performance in optical systems. The method uses high-order nodal aberration theory and was tested on three aspherical systems. Notably, CODE V software was utilized in the study, demonstrating lower tolerance sensitivity in the optimization results. https://ow.ly/ekxL50RPz2n #Optics #CODEV Figure 8 / Zhang Jipeng, Shi Guangwei, Huang Yuqi, Zhao Shangnan, Liu Mingxin, and Zhang Xin, "Optimization of optical system for reducing tolerance sensitivity based on the high-order nodal aberration theory," Opt.
