Describe the system you want and Claude builds it, runs a GPU ray trace, and reads the results back to you.\n\nWHAT YOU CAN DO\n\n• Build setups from scratch or from starter templates, in millimetres or inches.\n• Place and align optics, light sources and detectors by absolute pose, and reposition them without recomputing coordinates by hand.\n• Search the catalog of real, orderable components — lenses, mirrors, prisms, gratings, beam splitters, apertures, windows and filters — from manufacturers including Thorlabs and Edmund Optics, filtered by focal length, diameter, material, coating and substrate.\n• Add optomechanics: mounts, cages, posts and rails.\n• Run GPU ray-trace simulations and get a ray table back.\n• Analyse the result across the full wave-optics range: incoherent and coherent irradiance, coherent phase, Huygens and Fresnel diffraction propagation, PSF and MTF, polarised variants of each, and spectral collection — at a resolution you choose, then render the analysis as an image.\n• Optimise a layout against a figure of merit with explicit free variables and constraints.\n• Import existing designs — Zemax sequential files, and STEP/CAD geometry for custom parts.\n• Compute optical parameters directly: effective focal length, surface radii, centre thickness, refractive index at a wavelength, and material lookup by index.\n\nHOW IT CONNECTS\n\nSign in with your 3DOptix account through OAuth. There is no API key to paste and nothing to configure by hand — Claude prompts you to authorise the connection on first use, and guides you through it if anything goes wrong.\n\nWHO IT IS FOR\n\nOptical, photonics and laser engineers who already work in 3DOptix, and anyone prototyping an optical layout who would rather describe it than click it together.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\n\nA 3DOptix account at 3doptix.com.
