The Ultimate Benefits of Multiphysics Design You Need to Know

Benefits of Multiphysics Design

Multiphysics simulations are a fundamental part of our optical design process in Zemax. We use these simulations to evaluate optical performance, whether in terms of aberrations for imaging systems or power efficiency for non-imaging systems. The Importance of Multiphysics Simulations in Optical Design There are situations however in which a purely optical simulation is not […]

Top Types of Optical Prisms

Introduction One of the most common images for any that has study optics is that of Sir Isaac Newton with a beam of white light going through a glass prism and a rainbow coming out on the other side.  It is one of the most famous optical experiments, not only for its simplicity, but also […]

Optical techniques for distance measurement offer plenty of uses and applications. These techniques are able to measure the distance between two objects without touching them, making them perfect for a variety of situations. Optical techniques are usually the best solution when needing a noncontact method that’s fast or automated. For example, they are often used […]
