You’d be surprised! Everywhere I’ve worked, academic or industry, typically writes their own simulation software. Sometimes it’s entirely handwritten (i.e., end-to-end, preprocessing to simulation to evaluation), sometimes it’ll leverage a pre-existing open source package. I imagine this will become more and more common if, for no other reason, you can’t back-propagate an OpticStudio project and open source automatic differentiation packages are unbeatable.
- lcrs 2y agoIf you're interested in the equivalent of "backprop through zemax" there are a few projects going on to jointly optimize optical designs with the image processing, e.g. check out: https://vccimaging.org/Publications/Wang2022DiffOptics/ https://vccimaging.org/Publications/Wang2022DiffOptics/
