OSLO is a large program, with thousands of internal commands and functions. Moreover, the executable module of OSLO is routinely modified and recompiled by users. As a result, it is not possible to give an exact list of specifications for what the program can do. OSLO has many more capabilities than we can list here. If you have a question about a specific capability, contact us directly.

OSLO can be used to design almost any optical system that involves propagating light waves. The following are some typical examples of systems that can be designed using OSLO:

• Conventional Lenses
• Zoom Lenses
• Gaussian Beam/Laser Cavities
• Fiber Coupling Optics
• Illumination Systems
• Non-Sequential Propagation Systems
• Polarization-Sensitive Optics
• High-Resolution Imaging Systems

Also, systems with gradient index surfaces, aspherics, diffractive surfaces and holograms, lens arrays, interferometric deformations etc.

OSLO imports files from the following programs:

• CodeV, GENII, Sigma, Zemax
• OSLO files export to CAD programs
• Append data files from commercial interferometers to any surface for advanced simulation and tolerancing.
• Support for Radiant Imaging data files
• Fast Optimization
• Standard Surface
• Cylindrical Surface
• Lenslet Array
• Diffractive Surfaces
• User Defined Surfaces
• Interferogram Files
• Aspheric Surfaces
• Gradient Index Surfaces
