LightTools has comprehensive capabilities to help optical engineers pinpoint and correct stray light issues during product design. Enhancements to the LightTools stray light analysis toolkit include:
"LightTools provides realistic simulations of as-built illumination systems and includes an expanded toolkit in version 9.0 to identify stray light and minimize its effect on optical performance," said Stuart David, group director of applications engineering in Synopsys' Optical Solutions Group. "This can be done early in the product development process, saving engineers time and money."
LightTools offers optimization tools created especially to solve the unique requirements of illumination system design. In version 9.0, the LightTools Backlight Pattern Optimization utility allows designers to optimize performance of display systems with curved panel shapes. Designs created with the utility can conform to a dashboard, rotate about a user's field of view, and have custom shapes – all with high spatial uniformity.
