As the name implies, ASAP PRO is for your toughest optical
engineering challenges
ASAP® PRO combines the design power in the standard
edition of ASAP with sophisticated features for modeling
coherent systems, including Gaussian beam propagation,
finite-difference beam-propagation, double-precision ray
tracing, and polarization ray tracing. The resulting
package is everything you need to turn your creative
visions into working prototypes, taking into consideration
the most complex of optical phenomena and interoperability
challenges.
|
| In addition to fully-featured CAD
interoperability and wave optics power, ASAP PRO
will import lens-design application files from
CODE V®, OSLO®, SYNOPSYS™, and ZEMAX®, and is
interoperable with the finite-difference
time-domain code FDTD Solutions™. Together, ASAP
and FDTD Solutions handle both macroscopic systems
and microstructures in an elegant manner - a first
in the optics industry. No other software
combination spans such a large optical space. |
