  • Specification-guided user interface for optical design systems
    Patent number: 9367648
    Abstract: An optical design system generates a design state overview of a design of an optical system, the design state overview summarizing a current state and a target state of the design by describing a plurality of specifications for the optical system, the specification descriptions including target ranges for the specifications based on the target state of the design and further including current values for the specifications based on the current state of the design. The optical design system displays the design state overview. The optical design system updates the design state overview in response to the optical design system changing the current design for the optical system.
