Optical Design For Personal Computers

Yes, dbOptic can be used on single workstations or can be set up on a network for multiple users with a common shared database.

Yes, there is a free trial version of dbOptic available that users can try out and have it running in minutes.

dbOptic offers the capability to create and analyze systems with up to 99 surfaces, a fully integrated glass catalog, a basic library of simple lenses and mirrors, photographic and telescope systems, and additional library of manufacturer's stock lens designs is optionally available. It also offers real-time 2D lens and ray graphics plus ray spot diagrams & encircled energy plots, complete design editing capability, handles tilted surfaces, import Zemax® (.zmx) lens files, generate polychromatic spot diagrams, imaging of extended objects, optimize with powerful optical design tools including Aberration XY Plots, H - Tan U and H' - L Plots, and full program documentation, optical design primer, and software tutorial.

dbOptic can import Zemax® (.zmx) lens files.

dbOptic is an optical design software that helps users develop designs from a single lens or mirror to complex systems with up to 99 surfaces.

Engineering professionals, students, and educators can use dbOptic to perform simple ray tracing or solve tough optical engineering, optical system design, and imaging problems.
