ASAP lite was created to design and analyze basic imaging and illumination systems

ASAP® lite is powered by the ASAP non-sequential ray-tracing engine — known throughout the optics industry for its accuracy and efficiency. Rays can encounter surfaces in any order and any number of times, with automatic ray splitting. Optimized for speed, ASAP lite will trace millions of rays in minutes.

Use ASAP lite to model complex imaging systems, non-imaging systems, and light-concentrating devices. Create highly accurate source models using source images, point sources, ray grids, and fans, or model complete sources such as incandescent bulbs, LEDs, CCFLs, and HID arc lamps. Perform the analyses necessary to validate your designs without experimental prototyping.
