2025-04-12In this example, we introduce a simulation workflow to analyze the image quality of a camera system from a combination of an optical system and a CMOS imager within a specific environment with different lighting conditions. This example covers mainly the Ansys Speos part of the overall workflow. The optical system is designed with Ansys Zemax OpticStudio and exported to Ansys Speos for system-level analysis. The CMOS imager is designed with Ansys Lumerical and exported to Ansys Speos. download example OverviewUnderstand the simulation workflow and key resultsIn camera systems, CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) imager is an electronic component where incident absorbed photons generate a photocurrent that can be digitally processed. In this example, we used Ansys complete optical solution and imported the optical system information from Zemax OpticStudio and CMOS imager from Lumerical into Speos to do a full camera system analysis in a 3D scene and simulate the electronic map, and final image generated by the imager. This interoperability workflow takes into consideration the interplay between the macroscopic camera lens and the microstructure of the CMOS image sensor when simulating the entire optical system. With the Speos capabilities of handling realistic illumination and photometric/radiometric physics-based rendering, users can easily optimize the components and construct an accurate view of the final electronic map and final image as recorded by the image sensor to design application-based cameras.There are four main tools needed for this virtual solution : Zemax OpticStudio to export lens model designed in Zemax OpticStudio to be used by Speos Speos to generate spectral exposure map in front of the CMOS imager Lumerical FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) and CHARGE to compute the quantum efficiency of the sensor as a function of incidence angle and wavelength Speos Sensor System Exporter to combine Speos and Lumerical results and generate the electronic map captured by the sensor as well as the final imageAs this example requires Lumerical, Zemax OpticStudio and Speos simulation, we mainly limited ourselves to Speos simulations here as described by the following steps:Step 1: Lens system design with Zemax OpticStudio (not covered in this article)In this step, we design the camera lens system in Zemax OpticStudio and export the reduced order model of the lens system using the " Export Reduced Order Model to Speos " feature from OpticStudio (*.OPTdistortion file). The reduced order model (ROM) generated lens model is called Speos Lens System (SLS). This operation is done once for the lens system which enables us to perform fast ray tracing camera simulations in Speos afterward.Here we use a compact and efficient lens system for mobile phone cameras designed with Zemax OpticStudio. The incident angle at the sensor surface increases to 35 degrees at about 2 mm distance from the center of the sensor and then decreases to 25 degrees at the corner of the sensor.SLS can be generated by Zemax OpticStudio automatically for symmetric lens system or can be created from Chief ray angle curve information from a datasheet information.

2025-04-22Hi everyone, the Optical Engineer is back, and it is time to revisit the thermal soak analysis of the Double Gauss objective. This time, I wanted to address some of the common questions we get at PADT involving the STAR Module within Ansys Zemax OpticStudio (AZOS) and exporting deformation data from Ansys using the “Export to STAR” ACT extension. The intention of this article is to address some details in the workflow rather than a full tutorial. Please see Knowledgebase articles on the Zemax website for detailed tutorials and examples on using the STAR module.Last time, we ran a thermal soak on a simple Double Gauss tube assembly in Ansys Mechanical. Our results consisted of total deformation at 5 different temperature ranges, the results shown below are for the maximum temperature of 40° C. The next steps in this workflow are to export the deformation results at each temperature and import each into AZOS with the STAR module. First, the “Export to STAR” ACT extension must be downloaded from the Knowledgebase article OpticStudio STAR Module: Ansys Data Export Extension – Knowledgebase (zemax.com). Once the extension is installed and loaded into Ansys WorkBench through the ACT Start Page, the “Export to STAR” tab in Ansys Mechanical should be available. A more detailed tutorial on these steps is provided in the linked Knowledgebase article from the Ansys Zemax team. There are two options within the “Export to Star” tab, one to export lens data, and the other to export mirror data. As
