Polaris-M for Mathematica
The most complete polarization analysis tools available.
Polaris-M is an optical design and polarization analysis toolset for Wolfram Mathematica. Polaris joins ray tracing-based optical design methods with polarization calculus, 3D simulation, anisotropic materials, diffractive optic simulation, stress birefringence, and diffraction theory.
Polaris-M requires and runs within Wolfram Mathematica. Polaris capabilities will be part of the Airy Optical Platform in future releases while maintaining compatibility with Mathematica
Features
A full range of polarization optical system challenges. Generality and completeness – with one raytrace, you will derive a full spectrum information needed to completely analyze any optical system.
500 functions: ray tracing, aberration calculation, polarization elements, stress birefringence, diffractive optical elements, and polarization ray tracing calculus, and liquid crystal cells and optical elements.
-
Polaris-M offers sequential, non-sequential, automated ray doubling, beaming dividing at beamsplitters and interfaces, and coherent ray trace with optical path lengths and E-fields.
-
Polaris-M utilizes the polarization ray trace (PRT) matrix to track polarization effects at every surfaces. With the addition of 100 built-in functions for easy polarization calculation such as Fresnel polarization coefficients, Polaris-M offers a wide-range of polarization techniques.
-
Polaris-M has the ability to build thin films with our easy-to-use GUI or from our extensive thin film library.
-
Polaris-M has many built-in functions designed to analyze the resulting polarization ellipses of rays or across the optical system. The software also allows for Jones and Mueller pupil plotting.
-
Polaris-M is capable of creating and analyzing crystal optics. During each ray tracing, biaxial and uniaxial crystals are taken into account. Additionally, Polaris-M has the ability to perform ray traces on optically active crystals.
-
Polaris-M has the capability to analyze stress defined by closed form analytic expressions or data imported from MoldFlow® and Timon3D® CAD programs. Effect of stress birefringence on wavefronts, interferograms, and point spread functions can be calculated within Polaris-M.
-
Polaris-M can integrate measured polarization data easily into optical systems for analysis.
