rAI Optics
Workflow

From requirements to a working starting point.

rAI Optics covers the front of the lens design process: turning a specification into a credible starting prescription, checking its first-order behavior, and handing it off cleanly to the rest of your toolchain.

New designs from a specification

Describe focal length, f-number, field, spectrum, and package limits in chat and get a starting prescription drawn from proven lens forms.

Analysis without a license server

Check spot diagrams, MTF, PSF, ray fans, Seidel terms, and wavefront on any design in Studio — in the browser, no desktop install.

Design reuse and reference

Start from a specification in chat, then refine the prescription in Studio instead of a blank sheet.

A real optics engine behind the assistant.

Suggestions are not just language-model output. The assistant can run paraxial and exact ray tracing on proposed designs, and the analysis you see in Studio is computed from the actual prescription.

  • Paraxial and exact ray tracing
  • Seidel aberration analysis and wavefront metrics
  • Optimization over selected surface variables
  • ZMX export for Zemax-based workflows

Workflow summary

Generate a starting prescription

The assistant searches the design library and adapts a proven form to your specification.

Analyze, optimize, export

Review the analysis charts in Studio, optimize selected variables, and export the result as a ZMX file.
