Quadoa Explained: Multi-Sequential Raytracing

The term sequential raytracing is familiar to anyone experienced in the field of optical design. It describes the process of simulating light propagation by tracing rays from one surface to another in a predefined sequence. Originally this was done by hand using YNU...

A New Paradigm for Optical Design

With the advent of personal computers, nearly all engineering disciplines have benefited from computer-aided design (CAD) software; the field of optics is no exception. The optical design workflow has been revolutionized with programs capable of doing advanced...
