EIKONAL.WORKS

Optical Raytracing Software
Intended Use

EIKONAL.WORKS is a modern, fast and accurate optical raytracing software for design and analysis of imaging and non-imaging optical systems.

Early release version has a strong focus on illumination engineering — specifically LED-based luminaire design.

Vision

EIKONAL.WORKS will disrupt the Lighting Industry by providing a feature-rich, affordable optical design software option, lowering the entry-barrier for designing state of the art products.

This mindset will then be extended to other fields of optics.

Features
Core Technologies
Remote Computation

Execute demanding raytracing simulations (optionally) on high-performance remote servers while maintaining a responsive local workflow.

Ideal for mobile workstations and distributed engineering teams.

GPU Acceleration

Harness Vulkan RT-core acceleration to perform massive ray sets at unprecedented agility.

Up to 50× faster computation compared to CPU-only processing. 5M+ rays/s with Stokes vector + Mueller matrices

Modular Raytracing Engine

A fully modular technology stack where every operation — from source modelling to scattering — is implemented as replaceable plugins.

Integrate custom optics models or research algorithms seamlessly.

Ultra-Responsive UI

A high-performance interface built on wxWidgets and a custom scene engine delivers unmatched responsiveness.

Smooth interaction even with millions of rays and large mesh models.

Physically Accurate Rays

Choose the fidelity of your simulations: geometric raytracing, polarization-aware interfaces, or advanced Gausslet-type models.

Cross-Platform & Multilingular

Windows, Linux, MacOS. x64 or ARM. Engineering should not be constrained by a single platform.

Supporting 8 languages out of the box

Examples
Catadioptric Lens Design

Design of a simple collimator lens. Loading LightTools binary ray file source. Importing source from the source library. Showing Solidworks Link module & design workflow.

Light Dispersion Test

This is a basic setup of a TIR prism and a block with dispersion on optical surfaces. Is also features True Color chromatic rendering on an illuminance detector.

Road&Street lens for 5050 LED

This example shows how to set up a basic workbench for the optical simulation of a refractive optic for a large LES LED source, specifically the OSRAM DURIS™ S 5050, GW P9LR37.PM

Pricing

EIKONAL.WORKS uses a license-based subscription model.
One license covers a single concurrent user session across all applications.

A single license enables running one instance of each software component (Workbench, IntensityView, RayEdit) on a workstation at the same time. Activating any application counts as one active use for that workstation.

Special licensing arrangements for enterprises, research institutions, or custom workflows are available.

Registration is currently limited to invited users only during the closed Beta phase.
