Optical Simulations

Using professional software for optical engineering: Zemax and Fred Optimum we design optical systems and lighting for automotive, machine vision and road lighting.

The scope of research and projects include:

  • illumination design
  • lens design
  • illumination calculations
  • luminous intensity calculations
  • chromatic analysis of illumination systems
  • optimization of imaging systems and lighting
  • design consultations
  • analysis of the light sources (especially LED)
  • analysis of integrated light sources and optics
  • visualization of models using render engines (Maxwell Render, LuxRender)
