About
LensHH-LT is sequential optical design software for refractive and reflective imaging systems - real capability
without an enterprise seat price. Analyses cover ray tracing, Seidel and higher-order aberration coefficients, 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. It reads and writes Zemax, Code V, OSLO, Optalix and
Optiland, so existing designs open intact. Alongside the GUI it exposes an API, a CLI and an open MCP server, letting
AI agents such as Claude build systems, run optimizations and read analyses back. Windows, Linux and Apple Silicon
macOS. $385 perpetual license, not a subscription. 45-day trial. Free for students and academics: the full program,
two years, renewable once. Offline activation for air-gapped machines.

About
LightTools is a comprehensive 3D optical engineering and design software that supports virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and photorealistic renderings of illumination applications. It enables users to quickly create illumination designs that work right the first time, reducing prototype iterations and accelerating time to market. Key features include sophisticated solid modeling with full optical accuracy, state-of-the-art ray tracing speed with user-controlled accuracy and resolution, and the ability to create light sources from any geometric model for unlimited flexibility. LightTools offers application-specific utilities to help users quickly build complete models, extensive source and materials libraries, including LEDs and BSDF measurements, and robust data exchange support for mechanical CAD data. The software provides an interactive, dynamic link with SOLIDWORKS and includes multiple modules that can be licensed in various configurations to best match user needs.
