Zemax is a software program used for designing and simulating optical systems. It is widely used in the field of optics and photonics for designing and analyzing the performance of lenses, cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and other optical systems.
OSLO has been used in a multitude of optical designs including holographic systems, [1] anastigmatic telescopes, [2] gradient index optics, [3] off-axis refractive/diffractive telescopes, [4] the James Webb Space Telescope, [5] aspheric lenses, [6] interferometers, [7] and time-varying designs.

Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror. Schmidt corrector plate: An aspheric-shaped corrector plate used in the Schmidt telescope.
The telescope is more a discovery of optical craftsmen than an invention of a scientist. [1] [2] The lens and the properties of refracting and reflecting light had been known since antiquity, and theory on how they worked was developed by ancient Greek philosophers, preserved and expanded on in the medieval Islamic world, and had reached a significantly advanced state by the time of the ...
A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum with the Earth's atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) and the types of telescopes used to image parts of the spectrum.. Visible-light astronomy encompasses a wide variety of astronomical observation via telescopes that are sensitive in the range of visible light (optical telescopes).
The simulated SSR was created to support making a software test version of the JWST, to help validate and test the flight software for the telescope. In other words, rather than using an actual test hardware version of the SSR, there is a software program that simulates how the SSR works, which runs on another piece of hardware. [29]
