Request InfoSynopsys Inc., Optical Solutions GroupLightTools version 5.3 has been released by Optical Research Associates (ORA). The design and analysis software has a high-speed photorealistic rendering engine that enables generation of high-quality images of LightTools models that appear to be digital photographs. Users can set backgrounds and apply surface finishes from a vast built-in library. The photoreal views can be produced in any aspect ratio and with resolution limited only by system memory. The “skinned solids” feature enables creation of complex 3-D objects. Multi-CPU capability increases the speed at which the software performs...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPHOTONICS HANDBOOK ARTICLESPhotonics HandbookIllumination Design and Analysis Software: A Vital Tool in the Designer’s KitIllumination design has developed rapidly to include not only automotive headlamps and street lamps, but also backlit displays, fluorescent panel lighting, light-emitting diode or laser sources, and...WEBINARSPhotonics.com 8/11/2022Virtual Biomarkers: An Emerging High-Throughput Research ToolPathology underlies every facet of health care, influencing more than 70% of all medical decisions.
