3D Visualization of the Optical System

For a fundamental understanding of the properties of an optical system, a visualization of its components together with an indication of the light propagation is immensely helpful. For this purpose, VirtualLab Fusion provides its users with 3D system visualization documents, that allow a quick overview of what is happening inside the system. This documents can be utilized to check the positioning of elements or to see the general direction in which the light is propagated. The actual simulation of the light in these documents is based on an engine, which gives comparable results to classical ray tracers. Other effects, for example diffraction, are not included in this view.
