ProSource® Near-Field Output Light Measurement Software

ProSource® enables optical system designers to fully exploit Radiant Source Model™ files (RSMs) of light sources and lighting systems.

RSMs are the most accurate method for describing the near-field output of real light sources in optical and illumination design software because they contain full measurement information, including luminance images, from all viewing angles for the light source or lighting system. This provides full flexibility in analysis and in ray set generation. In addition, ray sets containing an arbitrary number of rays can be generated by ProSource® for export to other optical and illumination system design software packages such as ASAP®, FRED®, LightTools®, LucidShape®, Photopia™, IES TM-25, Opticad®, OSLO®, SimuLux®, SPEOS®, TracePro®, and OpticStudio™ (ZEMAX), as well as general file formats.

Ray sets generated by ProSource from RSMs are more efficient than random Monte Carlo—generated ray sets as they contain equivalent information with only 20% of the number of rays—resulting in faster optical design analysis times with higher accuracy.
