OptiChat
Empowering Optical Design in the Era of AI
Introduction
3DOptix Joins the Generative AI Revolution
Capabilities
OptiChat, in its initial release, presents a suite of capabilities designed to enhance the optical design process:
- Catalog Searches: Seamlessly navigate and explore our extensive catalog of optical elements.
- Comprehensive Optical Element Searches: Simultaneously search for multiple complementary optical elements.
- Refractive Index Calculations and Materials Search: Easily calculate refractive indexes and identify materials with a target refractive index.
- Lens Maker Formula: Utilize the lens maker formula to determine the right measurements for your specific needs.
- Parameter Optimization for EFL: Find the optimal search parameters to achieve a desired Effective Focal Length (EFL) for spherical and ball lenses.
Beyond these features, OptiChat goes a step further by intelligently inferring the necessary steps to fulfill your request, executing them seamlessly without explicit instruction.
Hands-On Examples
- What are the materials with a refractive index closest to 1.456 at 560 nm?
>> Here are the materials with refractive indices closest to 1.456 at 560 nm:
- N-FK58 with a deviation of 0.000768
- S-FPL52 with a deviation of 0.000772
- H-FK71 with a deviation of 0.001274
- LITHOSIL-Q with a deviation of 0.003474
- UVFS with a deviation of 0.003500
- Quartz with a deviation of 0.003500
- Fused Silica with a deviation of 0.003500
- SiO2 with a deviation of 0.003557
- NIFS-S with a deviation of 0.004500
- NIFS-A with a deviation of 0.004500
The deviation value represents how much the refractive index of the material deviates from your target refractive index. The smaller the deviation, the closer the material’s refractive index is to your target.
- What is the radii of a convex-convex lens made from UVFS that will create an EFL of 20 mm at this wavelength?
- Can you search for those lenses with a tolerance of .5 mm?
- Material: UVFS
- Lens Subtype: Spherical Lens (Convex-Convex)
- Radius 1: From 17.06 mm to 18.06 mm
- Radius 2: From -18.06 mm to -17.06 mm
- Narrow it down for only uncoated ones, in a new tab called "Awesome Lens".
- Material: UVFS
- Lens Subtype: Spherical Lens (Convex-Convex)
- Radius 1: From 15.56 mm to 19.56 mm
- Radius 2: From -19.56 mm to -15.56 mm
- Query: Uncoated
I found 2 results which are now presented on the screen under the “Awesome Lens” tab.
Please note that the filters are automatically rounded to the nearest 0.01 mm.
- Open another tab with ball lenses that will create the same EFL at this wavelength and material.
>> I have found a ball lens that should create the same EFL at this wavelength and material. The search parameters I used were:
- Material: UVFS
- Lens Subtype: Ball Lens
- Diameter: From 24.69 mm to 25.69 mm
Please note that the diameter is automatically rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm.
The result is now presented on the screen under the “Ball Lens Search” tab.
Share Our Vision
- Through the user interface in our app.
- Through code with our intuitive SDK.
- Through natural language communication with OptiChat.
As 3DOptix continues to improve OptiChat, we are working on expanding its capabilities to seamlessly assist with our SDK, run simulations and analyses, add parts to the simulation, and modify existing components.
