VirtualLab Fusion supports light shaping by freeform surfaces, diffractive beam splitters and pattern generators, diffusers, and general arrays of micro-optical components, including, but not limited to, micro-lens arrays.
VirtualLab Fusion enables the design and the simulation of illumination systems for shaping, splitting, diffusing and homogenization of both laser and LED light. The emphasis of the software package is on the use of lens arrays, diffractive optical elements and cell arrays consisting of gratings, mirrors and prisms. For the designed components, fabrication data can be exported in several formats including STL and GDSII; the interaction with SLMs is also supported. Fast physical optics simulation and optimization algorithms enable the design of these optical elements. The modeling takes into account diffraction, interference, polarization and degree of coherence.
Benefits
User-friendly guided design method of light-deflecting elements including partial coherence and dispersion effects.
Ray tracing through diffractive elements.
Analysis of fabrication tolerances and optimization of the design regarding fabrication constrains.
VirtualLab Fusion provides a platform for the construction of a digital twin for your optical system, thus facilitating the investigation of the influence of different elements on the performance of the overall system (for instance, the effect of lens aberration on the quality of a shaped beam).
Export of fabrication data for various surface shapes including quantized interfaces, like binary masks and diffractive lenses.
Unsurpassed flexibility to define detector functions, including energy quantities, polarization, coherence, spatiotemporal femtosecond pulse quantities, amplitude and phase, dot diagrams, wavefront error, and aberrations.
