Components of Starter Toolbox

You can choose between ideal and real components. The ideal components include, for example, plane mirrors, beam splitters, lenses, gratings, stops and apertures, retarders, polarization rotators and any kind of transmission function. The Starter Toolbox comes with numerous real components like plates, lenses, sequences of aspherical interfaces, index modulated media and mirrors.


Sequences of aspherical and spherical interfaces are combined in the AIS component. The propagation through the AIS is modeled by pure geometrical optics (GeOp Operator) or by a sequence of geometrical optics and free-space propagation (GOFS Operator). This sequence is identified and optimized automatically.
