The ray tracing 'Schneider's Simple Raytracer' (ssR) gives you the ability to simulate optical systems easily and quickly. You can use the app in the education, studies or in the research and development to simulate various problems such as chromatical or spherical aberration as well as their compensation.
Just try out something.
You are also not limited to the paraxial region or thin lenses.

This app is the result of a lecture as part of a project (th-wildau, photonics, head: Prof. S.Schrader, lecturer: Dr. J.Bauer).

This algorithm uses vector calculus and supports both refraction and reflection of radiations. The refraction index can be fixed or calculated in accordance with wavelength and 11 different material (BK7, SF5, fused silica, ...).
(Attention! False color! The colors of rays are not the real color of the wavelength!)

In ssR you have the possibility to view your simulation in three 2D diagrams (x/z-, y/z- and x/y- plane). Planes and rays can be added, moved and modified in a 2D-diagram ...'on the fly' . The most interesting values ​​and the local rays distribution are shown at the image plane.
You can save or load your generated optical systems in/from a textfile.


Please keep me informed about problems, annoyances and suggestions :).
