Photonium Insight
Insight takes an optical system from a written spec or an existing design file to a working design. It proposes starting points, explores several design paths in parallel, runs the analyses and optimization in Zemax, CODE V, or our own ray tracer, and identifies what’s limiting performance. Suggested changes are applied after approval, and results export back to your tools’ native formats.
