Аннотация
The design of optical systems is a complex process. Currently, computer simulation is widely used for it. Simulation results can be presented both in quantitative and qualitative form. And of course, one of the main means of qualitative presentation of the results is their scientific visualization which allows to visually evaluate the result without spending significant time and resources on the analysis of the numerical output data. In the paper we present a ray visualization technique with rays colored with artificial colors. We emphasize the role of color in technique. Coloring of the visualized rays or their segments according to the conditions specified by the designer allows you to quickly conduct a qualitative analysis of the optical system under development. The application of this technique significantly speeds up the complex and time-consuming process of the design of the optical systems. Practical examples are given demonstrating the use of colored ray visualization in design of backlight plate of a mobile phone, motorcycle headlight and lens system.
Ключевые слова: optical system design, ray visualization, ray coloring, coloring conditions, optical system efficiency.
