v0.2.3 (Jan 2, 2025)

Optiland v0.2.3 Release Notes

Additions and Improvements:

• File I/O feature updates for Zemax/Optiland file formats.
• Added RingDistribution pupil distribution.
• Various visualization updates.
• Added new analyses: pupil aberrations, RMS vs. field (wavefront & RMS spot size),
• Documentation update for Read the Docs. Developer's guide added.

v0.2.0 (Dec 1, 2024)

Optiland v0.2.0 Release Notes

Additions and Improvements:

• Refactor of 2D and 3D visualization to better include surface tilts/decenters
• FFT PSF visualization code optimized for speed
• Add the OperandRegistry for optimization operands. Improves optimization organization and simplifies adding new or user-defined operands.
• Updated documentation and new tutorials
• Tests added to improve package coverage
• SolveManager and PickupManagers added to handle solves and pickups, respectively, for a given Optic instance.

Breaking Changes:

This release introduces changes to the API that may affect existing code. Specifically:

• SolveManager and PickupManager Integration
  • Methods for adding solves and pickups have been updated to use managers. This ensures a more modular and extendable design.

Example migration:

lens = CookeTriplet()

# v0.1.7 (Old)
lens.set_pickup(source_surface_idx=1, attr_type='radius', target_surface_idx=2, scale=-1, offset=0)
lens.clear_pickups()
lens.set_solve('marginal_ray_height', surface_idx=0, height=10)
lens.clear_solves()

# v0.2.0 (New)
lens.pickups.add(source_surface_idx=1, attr_type='radius', target_surface_idx=2, scale=-1, offset=0)
lens.pickups.clear()
lens.solves.add('marginal_ray_height', surface_idx=0, height=10)
lens.solves.clear()

Initial Release v0.1.0

This is the initial release of the Optiland package.

Optiland is a lens design and analysis program written in Python 3. It provides an intuitive and efficient interface for defining and visualizing lens systems, performing optimization of lens systems based on user-defined merit functions and variables, as well as analyzing optical systems using geometric and diffraction-based methods. Leveraging computational libraries such as NumPy and SciPy, Optiland delivers exceptional performance and efficiency in handling complex optical computations.
