Ray tracing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ray tracing is a method for calculating the path of waves or particles through a system. The method is practiced in two distinct forms: •Ray tracing (physics), which is used for analyzing optical and...

Zemax is the most popular window-based optical ray tracing software package on the market. Using ray-tracing methods based on classical Newtonian geometrical optics, it is suitable for the design of a wide variety of optical systems, including lenses, cameras, endoscopes, telescopes, microscopes, projectors and many more.

Optical ray tracing simulations in lens design commonly employ six major computations: the point of intersection of a ray and an optical surface, a check to see whether the ray is inside a restrictive aperture, calculation of a unit vector normal to the surface at the point of intersection, the result of reflection...

Ray tracing software is available both for lens design and for general optical systems modeling. It tends to be designed to run on a single processor and can be very time-consuming if the number of rays traced is large.

A geometrical algorithm for optical ray tracing is used to trace the trajectories of probe laser beam rays in pulsed photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) of a static gas. Rays are traced as a function of various parameters such as time, absorbed pump beam energy, radius, and pulse duration. ... » View Full Text:
