OpTaliX^® Software for Optical Design, Thin-Films and Illumination

First 16 modes in fibers.

OpTaliX is a comprehensive program for computer aided design of optical systems, thin film multilayer coatings and illumination systems. OpTaliX provides powerful features to conceptualize, design, optimize, analyze, tolerance and document virtually any optical system. OpTaliX includes geometrical and diffraction analysis, optimization, thin film multilayer analysis and refinement, non-sequential ray trace, physical optics propagation, polarization analysis, ghost imaging, tolerance analysis, extensive manufacturing support, user defined graphics, illumination, macros, and many more. OpTaliX is successfully used for the design of photographic and video lenses, industrial optics (beam expander, laser scanners, reproduction, machine vision), space optics, zoom optics, medical optics, illumination devices, fiber optical telecom systems, infrared optics, X-ray optics, telescopes, eyepieces, and many more.

OpTaliX is tested and certified for Win-XP, Win-7, Win-Vista, Win-8, Win-10, Win-11, for 64-bit operating systems.
OpTaliX is available in three editions, called OpTaliX-Pro, OpTaliX-Edu and OpTaliX-LT.


Support of multiple processors in 64-bit editions from versions 8.xx onwards:

New Version 12.30:   (27-April-2025)

• A new format for fictitious glasses was introduced: n.nnnn:vv.v This format is mandatory if refractive indices >2 shall be modelled by fictitious glasses.
• The optimmization variables GC1 - GC9 of GRIN surfaces did not work as expected. Now fixed.
• In environment/thermal analysis: The radii of curvatures of cemented surfaces were not correctly adjusted with temperature. Now corrected.
• The PSF calculation was not updated when executed from a macro.
• Minor changes.
