    Drawing Optics
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a website or software that allows users to create optics setups, including components like lasers and mirror mounts, with basic light tracing capabilities. The original poster recalls that the tool was free and likely utilized WebGL, suggesting the THREE.js module as a potential option. There is also a suggestion that the thread may be better suited for a computer science or programming forum if the tool isn't specifically optics-related. Overall, the focus is on identifying the right software for drawing optics configurations. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on the specific tool used previously.

TL;DR Summary
optics setup drawing
Some time ago, I drew a simple drawing. But now I can't remember how I drew it. Did I use a software or a website?
I remember I could choose some optics components, like the small laser in the image, the mirror mount, etc.
It can do basic light tracing.
It was free.

I'm pretty sure WebGL (Javascript) is up to the task. Specifically you might look into the THREE.js module. On the other hand it sounds like you're searching for a particular piece of software. Anyway, good luck.

EDIT: BTW, ATT: moderators. This thread should probably be moved to the computer science/programming forum if the tool in question isn't directly optics-related that is.

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'

Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...

Thread 'Pentaprism with magnification, which surface is curved?'

I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
