Results

Three critical locations causing veiling glare (high PST values) were identified. Changing the geometry and coating the structures with a light-absorbing coating eliminated the unwanted scattering and saved the project.

Why TracePro

Dlaczego to narzędzie. Stray light analysis — unwanted reflections and scattering in a 3D system — is one of the main applications of TracePro: non-sequential ray tracing follows rays through multiple reflections and pinpoints the sources of veiling glare on the detector.
