VirtualLab Fusion enables the design and the simulation of illumination systems for shaping, splitting, diffusing and homogenization of both, laser and LED light. The emphasis of the software package is on the usage of lens arrays, diffractive optical elements and cells arrays consisting of gratings, mirrors and prisms. For the designed components, fabrication data can be exported in several formats including STL and GDSII. Fast physical optics simulation and optimization algorithms enable the design of these optical elements. The modeling takes into account diffraction, interference, polarization and degree of coherence.
