Element Wizard: Transforming Optical Design with Element-Based Interactivity

The Element Wizard is an innovative software extension designed to elevate your optical design workflow by introducing an element-based approach in an interactive mode. Unlike the traditional Zemax Lens Data Editor, which operates on a surface-by-surface basis, Element Wizard identifies and manipulates entire optical elements, streamlining and enhancing the design process.

Key Features:

Interactive Element Detection:

Automatically scans and identifies the optical elements in your design, such as singlet lenses, doublet lenses, triplet lenses, mirrors, and diffraction gratings.

Element-Based Workflow:

Shift, tilt, add, remove, or modify elements effortlessly. The tool allows precise control over element properties, enabling efficient edits without manually managing individual surfaces.

Dynamic Adjustments in Real-Time:

Operate seamlessly within your open optical design. The interactive mode ensures that all modifications are instantly reflected, offering an intuitive and responsive user experience.

Streamlined Design Management:

Work on optical elements as unified entities rather than individual surfaces. For example, a singlet lens is managed as a single element, simplifying the manipulation of complex optical systems.

Batch Operations:

Perform batch operations on optical elements, such as simultaneous shifts, tilts, or property adjustments, saving time and reducing complexity in large designs.

Enhanced Flexibility:

The tool empowers users to create and refine optical designs with greater accuracy, ensuring that adjustments and modifications are both efficient and precise.

With Element Wizard, users gain an intuitive and powerful extension for managing optical elements, bridging the gap between conceptual design and practical implementation. Say goodbye to the limitations of surface-based workflows and experience a new level of freedom in optical design.
