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 tools which display a three-dimensional visualization of optical systems. These tools can further be used to check the positions of elements and detectors, as well as to get a quick overview of the light propagation inside the system. The applied modeling technique for the 3D view is similar to ray tracing.
