optics simulation

Optics simulation is the process of using computer models to predict how light behaves when it interacts with objects and materials. It helps scientists and engineers visualize how lenses, mirrors, or surfaces will focus, reflect, or transmit light to design better optical devices like cameras, microscopes, or telescopes. By accurately simulating light pathways and behaviors, they can optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, and innovate without needing physical prototypes. This virtual testing speeds up development, reduces costs, and provides deeper insight into complex optical phenomena.
