About us

Synopsys Optical Solutions, formerly Optical Research Associates (ORA), is one of the world’s leading developers of optical design and analysis tools -- CODE V® imaging design software and LightTools® illumination design software. The group is also an independent supplier of optical systems design services, with more than 5,000 completed projects in imaging, illumination and optical systems engineering. In May 2012, Synopsys acquired RSoft Design Group, expanding the company’s portfolio of optical design and analysis software products. With the RSoft™ products, Synopsys has augmented the CODE V and LightTools product lines to provide a full spectrum of photonic and optical design solutions. In February 2014, Synopsys acquired Brandenburg, maker of the LucidShape line of CAD software for the design of automotive forward, rear and signal lighting and reflectors, as well as for general lighting. In addition to design software, Brandenburg offers LucidDrive for night driving simulation that generates almost photorealistic lighting scenes in real time. Designers use it to quickly and accurately evaluate beam patterns of vehicle headlamps prior to expensive fabrication and testing. Most top-tier car companies and their lighting OEMs use Brandenburg products.

  • We are excited to announce that Chenglin Xu, the Product Manager of RSoft products, will be presenting at the upcoming Optical Solutions User Conference on November 20, 2024. Chenglin is thrilled to share the latest advancements in optical design and simulation that his team at Synopsys has achieved. Chenglin’s presentation will highlight groundbreaking developments that can help you do just that. Among the key topics, he will discuss how they have leveraged GPU technology to speed up FullWAVE FDTD simulations by nearly 100x and how the calibrated BeamPROP BPM allows for simulating high-index contrast silicon photonics devices 1000x faster than FDTD, with similar accuracy. This year's conference promises to be an invaluable opportunity to Learn, Network, and Accelerate Optical Design Innovation. The event will cover a range of exciting topics, including image simulation, freeform optics, display technology, high-performance computing for photonic devices, and more. Date: November 20, 2024 Location: 800 N Mary Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. PDT Attend In Person or Virtually Stay tuned for more details and make sure to register.

    Last month, we participated in the CIOE (China International Optoelectronic Exposition) (CIOE) held in Shenzhen from September 11-13. We were excited to talk to visitors about our latest updates to CODE V, LightTools, RSoft, and LucidShape. These updates are designed to bring more efficient design processes and rich learning resources to our users. We also introduced ImSym, the industry's first virtual prototyping platform for imaging systems, encompassing lenses, sensors, and image signal processors (ISPs). This platform aims to accelerate product development, reduce costs, and enhance team collaboration, moving from physical prototyping to advanced simulation. Also, our Head of Optical Solutions, Emilie Viasnoff, presented "Imaging System Platform Development Based on Digital Twin" at the booth. This approach offers a complete image system model, including lenses, sensors, and image signal processors (ISPs), facilitating faster and more accurate product development. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth and attended our presentation. We are excited help you design brilliance and lead the development of the next generation of optical systems. #CIOE2024 #OpticalDesign #DigitalTwin #SystemSimulation #Synopsys
