Multi-Sequential Raytracing

Quadoa® combines Sequential Raytracing with its unique Multi-Sequential Raytracing feature, which makes it possible to define an arbitrary number of sequential ray traces inside a single model. This approach enables the intuitive handling of systems as interferometers, where more than one optical path is of interest. In addition to classical raytracing, polarization raytracing is supported. Even ghost reflex analysis can directly be carried out and visualized within a single model file. Furthermore, the optimization of sub-assemblies of complex optical systems can be solved by a separate sequence, while being able to analyze the effect on the performance of the complete system. With the Multi-Sequential Raytracing, there is no need for multiple model files and makes a copy & paste of models abundant in most cases. The Multi-Sequential Raytracing defines a new standard when it comes to the design of complex optical systems. Using Multi-Sequential Raytracing makes it easier for optical designers to keep up with the rising requirements for more powerful complex optical systems.

Flexible Surface Type Definition

Freeform systems are essential for next-generation optical devices. With the Quadoa® Form Stack Ability it is possible to combine an arbitrary number of surface properties such as shape definitions, phase functions, coatings, polarization properties and more for the definition of any surface form. With the Form Stack Ability, designing free-form surfaces or arrays on curved substrates becomes easy and intuitive. Even for a tolerance analysis, adding arbitrary shape- or phase deviations to the surfaces can be easily realized. In addition, it is possible to instantly add measured shape deviations for the generation of a digital twin of a real world optical device, e.g. for uncertainty estimations of metrological instruments. Overall, this opens up a whole new world of possible surface types.

Powerful Optimization

Quadoa® provides a set of powerful optimization algorithms that cover all the steps of the optical design process, from the search for a starting system to the final fine tuning of the lens performance. The optimization is not limited to parameters of the lens- and surface properties but is also able to search the glass catalogs that are included in Quadoa® to identify the best fitting materials for a design. The wide range of available design goals and constraint options allow to define even complex lens specifications. In combination with high performance multi-core CPUs, all these features make it possible to quickly find a solution even for complex design problems.

Modern Object-Based Architecture

The model architecture of Quadoa® is based on a high-level hierarchical structure. Working with high-level objects such as lenses, mirrors and assemblies provides a much more intuitive way to design an optical system compared to lists of surfaces used by comparable optical design software packages. As this high level of abstraction is already an industry standard in the world of mechanical CAD, as a common language it helps to further streamline the workflow between optical designers and mechanical engineers. Optical elements and assemblies can be easily placed, grouped into assemblies or moved within an optical system or exported to other systems. All elements in Quadoa® contain knowledge of relationships to other elements allowing to model real-world dependencies, that e.g. allows an easy and more realistic tolerancing. As a result, the high-level architecture leads to a simpler, less error-prone, and faster design process, creating models that are easier to maintain.

Intuitive Design of Folded- and Off-Axis Systems

For high-end optical systems, off-axis and free-form optics as well as folded optical systems become more and more important. The design, maintenance and tolerancing of such systems has always been a challenge. Quadoa®'s nested coordinate system capability was developed to meet these challenges. The high level hierarchical object-based structure provides the possibility to position any elements intuitively. Besides the global coordinate space, the nesting of local coordinate spaces allows to directly reproduce the dependencies as they are in the real world system, by defining a local coordinate spaces for each object. This makes it possible to independently position elements or whole assemblies without having to worry about following surfaces and makes the definition of such systems less error-prone and more realistic.

Polarization Raytracing

Quadoa®'s Multi-Sequential Raytracing goes beyond standard raytracing by fully supporting Polarization Raytracing across all surface types, objects, and analysis features. This capability can be paired with a wide range of prebuilt polarizers, retarders, and coatings. Birefringent materials can be applied to optical elements, and even birefringent thin film coatings are fully supported. This feature enables precise simulation of Fresnel losses and allows for tracking the polarization state through complex folded systems. It also simulates beam displacement caused by anisotropic crystals or stress-induced birefringence. The raytracing is highly optimized and parallelized to maximize the performance of modern multicore CPUs.

Wave Optics

Quadoa®’s Wave Optics Toolbox provides methods for simulating wave optical phenomena such as interference and diffraction as well as propagation of coherent beams. The algorithms are based on the proven method of beamlet propagation. Compared to other propagators, where it is often difficult to find suitable settings to obtain a reliable result, the method is relatively robust in terms of sampling settings, which makes it easier to use. Each beamlet is defined by a series of rays, therefore the method can be applied to any system that can be simulated via ray tracing. The propagation method is not limited to single sequences and is therefore perfectly integrated within Quadoa®’s Multi-Sequential Ray Tracing. It is also suitable for sequences where the rays pass through a faceted mirror or other type of compound surface, enabling simulation of beam interference, including beam propagation and diffraction effects.

Bidirectional Exchange with Mechanical CAD

An optical system can never exist without a mechanical system, that holds the optical components in place. Also the real world performance of an optical system not only depends on the optical design and lens tolerances, but strongly depends on the precision of the mechanical mountings. Therefore, the exchange between optical designers and mechanical engineers has always been of great importance. With Quadoa® it is possible to exchange the models in both directions, from Quadoa® to mechanical CAD and from mechanical CAD to Quadoa®. This makes it possible to directly identify errors during the design process avoiding unnecessary iterations on the design or even the fabricated components. As a result, it helps to streamline the workflow between optical designers and mechanical engineers.

Scripting Interface

The more advanced a system gets, the higher is the need for specialized custom solutions fitting exactly the challenges that occur during the design process. Running large simulations and automate as much of the design workflow as possible is often necessary. To meet these challenges, Quadoa® provides a state of the art scripting interface, giving access to a wide range of features available in Quadoa®'s core library. The interface is available as a Python Module as well as a MATLAB® Toolbox and is completely independent from the Graphical User Interface. This allows users to work within a powerful high level language they already know, while building on Quadoa®'s raytracing-, optical design-, optimization-, analysis- and tolerancing features.

Real World Tolerance Analysis

No matter how good an optical design is on paper, the real world performance is always limited by the tolerances of the optical and mechanical components. Therefore, for the design of any optical system a realistic tolerance analysis is of great importance. It not only allows to estimate the as build performance but also makes it possible to optimize the system in a way that is more resilient against deviations from the nominal design. Quadoa®'s high level hierarchical structure allows to set up the mechanical dependencies of the elements and assemblies in the model in perfect analogy to the real world. This leads to more realistic tolerance results, especially with complex optical systems, without the risk of inconsistencies e.g. if double passes through lenses or sub-assemblies are included. Furthermore, the intuitive specification of tolerances for any object helps to prevent errors and makes the systems easier to maintain.

Modern User Interface

Quadoa® is designed by proven operating concepts of modern engineering software as widely known from mechanical CAD. Lenses and Assemblies can be managed by simple drag and drop actions. A live 3D-View of the system directly shows the effect on any change of the optical system and allows direct editing of the elements. Any relevant data like wavefront aberrations or ray distributions can be visualized. During the whole development process, the intuitive operation of the GUI has always been of high priority. The result is a software package, that allows the user to quickly get started on working on the technical task without having to invest a large amount of time on learning how to control the software. Furthermore, a fluent design workflow can be achieved by granting quick access to any feature. For power users customizable shortcuts to the most commonly used features allow to increase the efficiency even more. Also for non-full-time optical designers, Quadoa®'s intuitive architecture allows to keep the entry threshold low.

In-System Sequential Ghost Analysis

Even for simple imaging systems where only one optical path is utilized, the Multi-Sequential Raytracing provides a huge advantage, through its application for sequential ghost analysis. Quadoa®'s Ghost Wizard allows to easily generate any relevant ghost sequences. The 3D View can visualize the ghost rays directly inside the model. The ghost analysis features allow to quickly identify critical surfaces and to use the information to optimize for a better stray light performance. Compared to non sequential raytracing, a huge gain in raytracing speed can be achieved allowing to simulate more rays in a shorter amount of time.
