Scientific paper

An account is given of the sophisticated software tools currently available for the numerical support of increasingly complex optical design and analysis tasks. Such computer-aided engineering resources allow ray-tracing, aberration analyses, and such lens characterizations as modulation-transfer and point-spread functions to be quickly and accurately conducted. Illustrative applications of these techniques are presented for the fields of reflecting telescope, IR optics, and spectrometer design, as well as achromat design and stray-light analysis.
