FRED optical engineering software simulates light propagation through any optomechanical system using ray tracing. Whether your design is imported from CAD, a lens design program, or created from software, FRED provides engineers with the essential tools for virtual prototyping of optical systems.

FRED is not restricted to any one class of problems. With the ability to propagate coherent and incoherent light and assign realistic surface properties to each component in your system, FRED can be used for a wide range of applications, including:

• Diffused light
• laser applications
• non-imaging lighting and optics
• imaging systems
• multi-wavelength systems
• thermal imaging
