From optical requirements to a lens starting point.
Enter focal length, f-number, field, wavelengths, and package limits. Get a starting prescription to inspect, edit, analyze, optimize, and export as ZMX.
What you get
- Zemax-compatible ZMX prescription
- Spot, MTF, PSF, ray-fan, Seidel, and wavefront analysis
- Interactive 3D layout and prescription editor
Built on real data
5,000+ glass materials and a real optics engine behind every starting point.
Scope
Generated prescriptions are starting points. Review the analysis, tolerances, materials, and mechanical constraints before using a design in hardware.
Start from a specification
Describe the system in chat. Set focal length, f-number, field, spectrum, image size, and mechanical limits. rAI Optics returns a starting prescription for review in Studio.
Analyze and adjust in Studio
Edit radii, thicknesses, materials, apertures, and conics in the prescription table. Check the 3D layout, spot diagrams, MTF, PSF, ray fans, Seidel terms, and wavefront.
Materials and export
Search more than 5,000 glass materials in Studio. Sign in free to export a starting prescription as ZMX or JSON.
Built for the early stages of lens design.
The slow part of a new design is getting from a blank sheet to a credible starting point. rAI Optics compresses that step: search proven lens forms, adapt one to your specification, and check the first-order numbers before you commit time in your main design tool.
- ZMX export for handoff to Zemax-based workflows
- Glass search across Schott, Ohara, Hoya, and other catalogs
- Designs saved to your account for iteration across sessions
Guided workflow
01
Describe your optical system
Define imaging requirements, spectral bands, package constraints, and performance goals in natural language.
02
Get a starting prescription
The assistant runs paraxial and real ray tracing to propose a starting point that matches your specification.
03
Refine and export
Analyze performance in Studio, optimize selected variables, and export the prescription as a Zemax-compatible ZMX file.
Start your next design from something better than a blank sheet.
Sign in to generate starting points, run analysis, and download ZMX files.
