LightTools Optical Engineering And Design Software

LightTools® is a unique optical engineering and design software product that features virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and photorealistic renderings of illumination applications. The software has adapted solid modeling technology to accommodate the inherent accuracy required to simulate ray paths of light as they traverse through and within optical elements and mechanical structures. LightTools is straightforward to use, accurate, has the most advanced capabilities commercially available, and supports the tasks of design and engineering iterations in addition to analysis.

LightTools' unique power lies in its complementary strengths of design and analysis. The analysis gives you the status of how well your design is working against spec. The design features help you quickly and efficiently improve the design, in both the initial concept phase and during engineering iterations and refinements. This coupling of benefits (design and analysis) makes LightTools really pay off in terms of productivity improvement, faster time to market, and better engineered products.
