TracePro 7 now supports multi-core processors using multi-threading. This improvement is completely transparent except for a speed increase during ray tracing on multi-core systems. TracePro will use whatever cores are available. Both Win32 and x64 TracePro, and all TracePro Editions, have this feature.The Irradiance Options dialog box has been enhanced with new functionality. New irradiance mapfeatures include the following: ◦New rainbow color palette. The previous rainbow has been renamed to (blue max) to distinguish it from the new rainbow. The new rainbow palette has pure RGB red for the highest flux value, with colors progressing through the rainbow down to violet for lowest flux values.◦New normalizations. The Normalize to emitted flux checkbox has been removed, and now there is a...

Radiant Imaging Radiant Imaging, a provider of imaging systems for colour and light measurement, has released ProSource 8.0 for light source near-field data analysis and ray generation. ProSource 8.0 provides simple, intuitive program navigation, enhanced graphics, and improved ray generation from Radiant Source Model data files. The software is intended for use by light source and lighting system designers and developers, and applies to all light sources including emerging LED applications. ProSource 8.0 provides an intuitive interface to allow the user to view, manipulate, and process Radiant Source Model (RSM) data files simply and quickly. The user interface and graphics allows users to rapidly access and analyse RSM information, resulting in both time savings and deeper understanding of light source...

tructure groups The ability to group structures is one of the main new features in FDTD 6.5. Groups can be moved, rotated and copied as a single object. In addition to simple grouping, it is possible to create parameterized group-objects by adding script code to the group. For example, it is possible to create a Photonic Crystal Array group with a Pitch input parameter. When the Pitch parameter is changed, all objects in the group will automatically move to the appropriate position. For an example of how to create and use a group see the pc micro cavity tutorial in the getting started section. Analysis (monitor) groups The ability to group monitors into Analysis groups is one of the main...

FRED Optimum (FRED) is an advanced optical engineering software program capable of simulating the propagation of light through virtually any optical/mechanical system, download the latest brochure here. FRED has two methods of propagating light, through either standard raytracing or a Gaussian beam decomposition algorithm to propagate coherent optical fields. FRED has been under development for over 10 years and currently contains approximately 470,000 lines of C++ code. (This does not include code that is part of third-party graphics routines and the BASIC compiler). Download the FRED 9.10 technical specifications here. FRED was developed with the following goals in mind: * Make rapid virtual prototyping accessible to engineers with a broad range of experience levels * Use a Dynamic System Tree...
