“…In field tracing, electromagnetic harmonic fields are traced through the system. This approach provides three fundamental advantages of practical concern [1]: (1) field tracing enables unified optical modeling. Its concept allows the utilization of any modeling technique that is formulated for vectorial harmonic fields in different subdomains of the system.…”

“…On the other hand, classical ray tracing is fast but is not accurate enough for the simulation of most micro-and nanostructured components. Starting from this observation the concept of field tracing has been developed [1]. It allows a smooth combination of different simulation techniques in order to simulate an optical system as fast as possible and as accurate as required.…”

The simulation of optical systems with both, refractive and diffractive components is very challenging and can neither be solved by a classical ray tracing approach nor by a general rigorous Maxwell solver. That is why the concept of field tracing has been introduced which is a generalization of ray tracing: harmonic fields are traced through the optical system instead of ray bundles. This allows the smooth combination of different modeling techniques in different subdomains of the system called unified optical modeling. The techniques can be adapted locally to minimize the numerical effort whereas the accuracy is as high as needed. In this paper we apply field tracing techniques for the simulation of an eyepiece containing a diffractive lens for minimizing the lateral color. The results presented include higher diffraction orders appearing due to the grating-like structure of the diffractive lens.

Phase-space procedure based on coherent state representation is proposed for investigation of reflection and transmission of wave beams at a curved dielectric boundary. Numerical simulations of reflection and transmission of light at various boundaries separating two different dielectrics are carried out. Significant influence of wave-front curvature and polarization of incident beam on the reflectance and transmittance is shown.

“…In order to reduce the experimental cost, and explore the application of new optical technologies, optical virtual simulation experiment is an important direction of development in recent years. At present, there are some software and tools in the field of optical system simulation, such as LightPipes for the simulation of propagation of light in the optical equipments [1] , VirtualLab for optical virtual simulation and production design [2,3] , CAOS for adaptive optical system of weak light [4] , Arroyo for simulation of atmospheric turbulence and adaptive correction [5] and Wavetrain for laser system simulation for the US military [6] . But they are very expensive, and some of these are embargo on Chi- …”
