etendue - AI-Powered Optical Design Software for Raytracing, MTF and PSF Analysis
Intuitive & Automated, optical design
From complex optical systems to more basic machine integration, our built-in AI makes optical engineering more intuitive and faster. Just prompt, review and generate!
What you can do
From full manual control to fully automated design.
Manual optical design
Design and analyze from scratch, exactly like any optical CAD tool — full control over every surface, material and configuration.
Starting-point generator
From a specification to a working approximate design in about 5 minutes. Describe your target; get a starting point ready to refine.
Fully automated optical design
Describe your specification and let the platform design end-to-end — 90 minutes to 6 hours of autonomous work delivers a finished, optimized design, no human in the loop.

One Platform, Three Deployments
The right fit for every environment
Cloud
Full platform in the cloud with native parallelism — the equivalent of 1,000 CPUs at your fingertips. No infrastructure to manage, no limits.
Enterprise
Deploy on your intranet with full data sovereignty. Distributed compute management across your infrastructure — same power, your rules.
Portable
Install on a dedicated machine and work anywhere — even offline. Full simulation capabilities, completely autonomous.*
*AI capabilities may vary depending on local hardware specifications.
Three propagation engines, one platform
Sequential, non-sequential and Gaussian physics — under one roof.
Sequential ray tracing
Surface-by-surface tracing for imaging optics — lenses, objectives, telescopes.
Non-sequential ray tracing
Free-propagation tracing for illumination, stray light, ghost analysis and complex geometries.
Gaussian beam propagation
Laser beam propagation — waist, divergence, Rayleigh range, ABCD and diffraction.
