High-power lasers are widely used in applications such as laser cutting, marking, welding, and drilling, as well as in specialty manufacturing markets such as medical devices.

As with all optical systems, engineers who design the optical and mechanical components for these laser applications must model, simulate, and virtually test all aspects of their design prior to manufacturing, so they can know how the final product will perform in real-world conditions. The validation activities enabled by this modeling yield the insights into complex impacts that engineers need for iteratively and continuously improving and optimizing their designs.

Companies that build high-power laser systems need a fast, reliable way to model and simulate all aspects of the optical system during design, including structural and thermal impacts on the products created.

The OpticStudio STAR Module makes it simple to import structural and thermal data into OpticStudio workflows, yielding significant time savings and new possibilities for system analysis.
