Introducing GlobalOpt ..

GlobalOpt is all-new optical modelling software - and it's fully Open Source!

It is for the analytical design of optics; including lenses and cameras. 

GlobalOpt has breakthrough features for aberration visualisation and solution discovery.

GlobalOpt uses Live Optical Modelling to:
  • DESIGN CUSTOM OPTICS 
  • SEEK OUT NEW DESIGN FORMS
  • OPTIMISE HIGH-PERFORMANCE OPTICS
  • PRODUCE BETTER OPTICAL DESIGNS FASTER
  • ACCELERATE WORK FLOW WITH FAST VECTOR GRAPHICS

With GlobalOpt the focus is on learning, intense mental activity and visibility; as opposed to automatic design by machine, mental darkness, and hidden (algorithmic) design decisions.

GlobalOpt provides one-of-a-kind capabilities that are missing from other optics software.
For example, the Surface Contribution Plots let you see how individual optical surfaces contribute to overall aberration residuals. And the Aberration Plots and Maps let you 
see how high and low order aberrations sum to the real aberration.

In a nutshell, GlobalOpt blends classical and analytical design with live modelling, 
boosting your problem solving ability. Give it a try!



** STOP PRESS > MAJOR NEW FEATURE for August 2016 < ** 
> GlobalOpt is now fully open source (Open Access / Open Contribution)
> Our aim is for GlobalOpt to become the most comprehensive optical ray tracer available - being at the same time fully open-source to allow nuts-and-bolts algorithmic access. Accordingly we now invite the optics community to get involved through our Open Access / Contribution License - whereby we publish the GlobalOpt source code for flexible use and free-ranging development by the community. The advantages of such an approach include leveraging multiple brains, plus rapid code evolution in new and exciting directions not possible with proprietary code-bases. To get involved - first buy an official (centrally managed) copy of GlobalOpt - for which we make a small charge of $ 99 full price / $ 30 student or unemployed (yearly edition fee) - then simply make / send in your code changes and/or development suggestions. All customers receive free monthly code updates / newsletter / Linkedin Group access; plus 24 hour technical support. Community supplied code changes sent in that are tested and deemed useful will be acknowledged, credited, and incorporated into the official code-base and shared with all of our customers.  N.B. Customers who supply accepted code modifications will be eligible for a discount.
