Optical Design Software

The ZEMAX Optical Design Program is a comprehensive software tool for optical design.

ZEMAX is the perfect tool to design, optimize, and tolerance optical systems. Your system may include refractive, reflective, diffractive, sequential, or
non-sequential elements in any combination.

You can use ZEMAX for

classical lens design, including powerful optimization and tolerancing
illumination and stray light, using fully unconstrained non-sequential ray-tracing
laser beam propagation, using powerful physical optics modelling

All of these powerful features are integrated into an intuitive user interface. ZEMAX offers power, speed, flexibility, ease of use, and value in one comprehensive program.

Full details are in the ZEMAX Features area of this website.
