About
FRED is a comprehensive tool that simulates the propagation of light through optomechanical systems using ray tracing. It supports both coherent and incoherent light propagation and allows users to assign realistic surface properties to every component in a system. Key features include fast and accurate simulation of various light sources, such as lasers, arc lamps, LEDs, ideal emitters, bulbs, and user-defined ray sets. The software offers advanced geometry, scatter, optimization, scripting, and graphic tools, along with fine-grain control of ray trace properties during simulations. It provides comprehensive post-trace analysis features and reports, real-time visualization and editing of complex optical and mechanical systems, and is highly extensible via user-defined scripts. FRED provides core capabilities for propagating light through optomechanical systems.

About
LensHH-LT is sequential optical design software for refractive and reflective imaging systems, built for engineers who need real capability without an enterprise seat price. Analyses cover ray tracing, Seidel aberrations, ray and OPD fans, FFT and geometric MTF, PSF, wavefront maps, spot diagrams, field curvature, distortion, and relative illumination. Optimization runs local or global — multi-start and basin-hopping search, glass substitution across full catalogs, stock-lens matching, and saddle-point construction for topology discovery. It reads and writes Zemax, Code V, OSLO, Optalix, and Optiland, so existing designs come across intact. Alongside the GUI it exposes an API, a CLI, and an open MCP server — letting AI agents such as Claude drive design workflows: building systems, running optimizations, and reading analyses back. $385 perpetual license, not a subscription. Full-featured 45-day trial, no account required. Offline activation for air-gapped machines.
