CODE V 2024.03 New Features | Synopsys


This video introduces CODE V 2024.03 main features, such as Multi-Environment Coupling capability, MetaOptic design capability, faster image simulation, new example models, and improved interoperability with both LightTools and RSoft

Multi-Environment Coupling
CODE V’s Multi-Environment Coupling feature allows users to model and optimize athermalized spacer-based lens designs across a wide range of environmental conditions. The models consider changes in refractive index and substrate prescription changes due to different temperatures, pressures, and mounting links. An interoperability feature enables export of Multi-Environment Coupling models to LightTools for further analysis.
Visualization Capability for Athermalization
Athermalization is a key part of optical design in which engineers consider the effect of temperature changes on lens mounting. CODE V includes a new visualization tool in V3D that assists with this process. The tool shows engineers how the housing interacts with glass elements and their interconnections, without having to know the details of the optomechanical mount.
CODE V MetaOptic Design
A breakthrough in optical technology, meta optical surfaces are thin, flat surfaces that can augment traditional lenses. These complex surfaces can now be efficiently designed in CODE V using a diffractive optic property modeling process. Note that this tool is an add-on to CODE V that comes with an additional fee and requires Synopsys Common Licensing.
Faster Image Simulation
The 2D Image Simulation (IMS) feature, which simulates imagery produced by the lens defined in CODE V, includes a significant speed enhancement in this release, particularly with machines using multiple processing cores.
Expanded Example Model Library
The CODE V Example Model Library helps you quickly learn how to use specific features, including Global Synthesis, Beam Synthesis Propagation to analyze diffraction-related characteristics, and SpecBuilder for setting up lens system specifications. The library includes 11 new examples in this release.


CODE V is a powerful optical design software suite tailored for designing and analyzing complex optical systems. Renowned for its advanced capabilities, CODE V enables engineers and scientists to model, optimize, and simulate imaging systems with precision. It supports a wide range of optical design tasks, including lens design, aberration analysis, and optical performance optimization. With its robust set of tools and intuitive interface, CODE V helps streamline the design process and enhance the performance of optical systems, making it a go-to choice for both research and industrial applications.
The CODE V 2024.03 release offers improved design workflow, faster image simulation, and enhanced learning capabilities. New features like Multi-Environment Coupling, an expanded Example Model Library, and metalens support have been introduced to foster innovation, save time, and provide comprehensive system analysis.
