ASAP OPTICAL+ has been designed for complex modeling challenges involving wave optics

ASAP® OPTICAL+ is the industry-standard for modeling coherent systems, with Gaussian beam propagation, finite-difference beam-propagation, double-precision ray tracing, and polarization simulation.

ASAP OPTICAL+ will import lens-design application files from CODE V®, OSLO®, SYNOPSYS™, and ZEMAX®, and is interoperable with the time-domain code FDTD Solutions™. Together, ASAP and FDTD Solutions handle both macroscopic systems and microstructures in an elegant manner — a first in the optics industry. No other software combination spans such a large optical space.

ASAP OPTICAL+ comes standard with a distributed-processing capability allowing you to complete big design jobs in a fraction of the time required by other tools — spawn up to 5 additional ASAP sessions on your Local Area Network (LAN), without leaving your desk.
