A leading lens design tool that combines advanced ray tracing, analysis, and optimization methods with an easy-to-use, high-speed, internal compiled language to solve a wide variety of new problems in optical design. OSLO works in tandem with our TracePro software to provide a complete and comprehensive design environment.
OSLO (Optics Software for Layout and Optimization) is a powerful and user-friendly optical design program with a wide-ranging scope. OSLO is an excellent choice to meet the needs of optical designers to fulfill their optical system requirements. Our software was designed with the needs of optical designers and engineers in mind. Designers have significant freedom to define and constrain systems with OSLO’s open architecture to design the system they need and the way they want. OSLO has an excellent heritage and has been used longer than most of its competitors to design and engineer manufacturable optical systems with refractive, reflective, diffractive, gradient index, aspheric, and freeform optics. Its superior raytracing, analysis, and solid foundation in accurate physics modeling has made it a valuable choice for many designers and a tool that has been widely used to check the accuracy of other programs.
Layout and Optimization Power and Speed
OSLO provides an integrated software environment that helps you complete modern optical design tasks. It is widely used in lens design to determine the optimal sizes and shapes of components in optical systems. OSLO’s raytracing algorithms and analysis features are efficient and provide an excellent foundation for optimizing and analyzing lenses, telescopes, and other optical designs. OSLO has been used to successfully design a multitude of optical systems from concept through testing and manufacturing. OSLO includes multiple local and global optimization and search methods along with many optimization targets to help refine and tune designs for maximum quality.

OSLO Edu
-
OSLO EDU is a free Windows program with a reduced number of features compared to the Premium edition. It also restricts you to working with systems that have up to 10 surfaces. Although OSLO EDU does not include all the capabilities of OSLO, it does give you optical design power that exceeds many commercial programs. OSLO EDU gives you the basic ability to layout, edit, optimize, analyze, tolerance, and save a wide range of optical systems. OSLO EDU is perfectly tailored for educational use.
