Every software package contains a full set of examples suitable for that version and are installed with the software. If you see examples here that are not in your installation you should consider updating to a later version of the software. These examples can be used by beginners and advanced users for product evaluation, teaching purposes, and self-training.

• 3D Optical

One of the common applications of Optical in 2D has been the simulation of a lens on top of a device. To facilitate a similar function in 3D requires creating this 3D lens which can be difficult without using a 3D process simulator.

The lenslet is represented by a spherical section on top of the x-z plane. The BEAM statement parameters lens.x lens.y and lens.z are used to define the centre of a sphere. The radius of the sphere is specified with the parameter lens.radius and the location of the planar part surrounding the lenslet relative to the y=0 plane is specified by the lens.plane parameter. Finally the index of refraction of the volume between the lens plane and the device surface is specified with the lens.index parameter.

The volume associated with the lenslet is neither meshed nor simulated and is only used in the ray tracing.
