Photon Engineering

This tool enables precise simulation and virtual prototyping of optical systems by propagating light through complex opto‑mechanical assemblies via ray tracing, supporting both coherent and incoherent regimes and delivering radiometric accuracy for design verification. Key features include non‑sequential and sequential ray tracing, coherent beam propagation, multi‑threaded CPU performance up to many cores, 64‑bit architecture, a 3D graphical interface with CAD import/export (IGES, STEP, OBJ), built‑in scripting, and optional GPU acceleration with distributed computing, along with optimization, sensitivity analysis, and stray‑light, illumination, and non‑imaging system design across biomedical, sensing, and industrial applications; it is aimed at engineers, optical designers, researchers, and educators who need reliable modeling, prediction, and rapid iteration to reduce cost and risk in product development.
