A new release (V16.022 and UI+ V2.022) is available.

Upon completion of the installation of the current installer, you will find two applications in your SYNOPSYS™ folder and two shortcuts on your desktop. You can choose which one to use based on your own preference.

The Classic Edition (V16.022) provides you access to the powerful and long trusted SYNOPSYS™ Lens Design Software. In the Ui-Plus Edition (V2.022), we integrate all the features of the Classic Edition and wrap around it with an enhanced, streamlined, and workflow-oriented User Interface with the goals to allow new users to kickstart their designs with ease.

Paid customers with a valid support contract will now access this download via our newly implemented Customer Portal：

UI-Plus Edition (Version 2.022)
New Features for UI-Plus Edition only：

  1. New Charts for the Wavefront analysis in the Image Analysis Menu.
  2. New display option to Wavefront at Surfaces (FIS) analysis: now you can also display 2D color map of the wavefront overlaid with contour lines at different lens surfaces in the system.
  3. Added aliasing warning for large number of FRINGES in Wavefront plots. In those cases, it’s better to use the 2D color plot option (CONTOUR/CLEVEL/ZLEVEL).
  4. PCV command for multi-configuration DOE optimization enhancement: when applied to a DOE (USS type 16 or 25), will pick up all data except for the diffraction order. Thus the different configurations can each specify a different order, if desired.
    For an example, see the Application Note：Multi-Focus DOE lens Design with SYNOPSYS(TM)
  5. Enhancement to the window parameter in the one-side merit function: the window parameter WIN in the LUL and LLL command is decoupled from the (merit function) weight calculation. For more details on this change, see the explanation in Note 1 of the User Manual 10.3.5.1 Limit Input.

Bugs Fixed ：

  1. Surface tilt in AFOCAL system was not processed correctly in Wavefront at Surfaces analysis (FIS).
  2. AFOCAL directive in the GOALS section of DSEARCH was not parsed correctly.
  3. If FORBES surface is requested in DSEARCH for AFOCAL system, and multicore is requested, the warning, “Last two surfaces not suitable for AFOCAL mode,” was displayed. This is fixed.
  4. Fixed factor of 2 error when adding WX and WY to FRINGES plots (PUPIL, FIS, and FPU analysis).
  5. Fixed AFOCAL with PARAX reference so that AFOCAL takes precedence to get correct reference for AFOCAL system.
