Optical calculations are needed far beyond optical design offices. Optical engineers working on instrumentation, integration or metrology, mechanical engineers sizing an illumination path, physicists checking a beam waist, researchers, technicians and students all run into the same questions — occasionally rather than daily. A full optical design package is a heavy answer to that: expensive for intermittent use, and slow to learn when the question takes an hour. Optical-Calculation covers it with 287 single-purpose calculation pages, 53 of them free of charge, then scales up to complete system analysis and optimization when the occasional question becomes a real design.
Optical-Calculation was not written by a software company. It was built by CLAVIS, an optical instrumentation consultancy running industrial and research projects since 2004 — more than 50 of them, in fields ranging from medical devices and microelectronics to nuclear fusion research, space, defense and telecommunications. The tools are the ones we use ourselves. That is also why every one-year license includes four hours of free expertise in optical instrumentation: when the calculation is not the hard part, you can talk to someone who has met the problem before.
