Optica™ — Advanced Optical Modeling Platform

 

A unified platform for ray optics, wave optics, and symbolic optical system analysis.

Optica™ is a comprehensive optical modeling system that unifies geometric ray tracing, wave optics, and symbolic analysis within a single, transparent computational framework.

Unlike traditional tools, Optica™ allows you to model optical systems from first principles—bridging classical ray optics and full electromagnetic wave behavior.

 

Core Capabilities

  • Polarization ray tracing and non-sequential modeling

  • Full vector diffraction, interference, and wavefront analysis

  • Gaussian beam propagation and physical optics

  • Symbolic optical system modeling using analytical methods

  • Optimization of complex optical systems in 3D space

 

Advanced Modeling

Optica directly solves Maxwell’s equations using integral methods, enabling accurate simulation of:

  • Nanostructures and metasurfaces

  • Resonators and optical gain systems

  • Diffraction gratings and photon structures

 

Flexible and Transparent

  • Fully programmable within the Wolfram Language environment

  • Interactive graphics and dynamic visualization

  • Integration with CAD-based optical geometries

  • Cross-platform support via Mathematica
