Useful Background
- Basic lens design vocabulary
- Familiarity with fields, wavelengths, and optical surfaces
- A product or engineering review goal
Design Session Flow
A typical session moves from context to model, then to analysis, comparison, and reporting.
Define system inputs and assumptionsInspect optical layout and image-quality viewsUse Engineering Services when a project needs design, prototype, or custom workflow supportAsk OptiAI to summarize diagnostic evidence and next checksCompare candidate designs against the goalPrepare a concise engineering review packageEngineering Habits
- Keep assumptions visible
- Record the reason behind each comparison
- Treat AI suggestions as evidence-driven review drafts
- Choose report views that directly support the decision
- Use consistent names for surfaces, fields, and candidates
