BRO’s libraries, available to customers with current software maintenance agreements, include a growing collection ofmore than 200 U.S. and European source models that can be imported directly into users’ projects, as well as scatter models of popular materials used in optical design. Library resources reduce planning and prototyping costs by eliminating theneed to scan, measure, and model industry sources and materials.

Following geometrical system characterization, optical designers must define material properties and sources to completetheir system models. To save time, BRO is expanding the ready-to-use libraries that come with our other software products. Comprehensive material and scatter model libraries describing boundary conditions for a variety of materials nowaccelerate system setup and eliminate the burden of creating custom interface models based on lab measurements. Similarly, BRO now regularly expands its source model libraries to include new sources such as incandescent bulbs, arc sources, LEDs, and cold-cathode fluorescent lamps. These sources save customers hours and ensure accurate system characterization.
