Rayica does geometric ray-tracing and is a subset of the latest Optica 3 product. Optica 3 does symbolic analysis of optical systems, Gaussian beam propagation, as well as diffractive effects in imaging systems, interference, and wavefront calculations. In addition, Optica 3 offers deeper support of dynamic optical models than Rayica with Mathematica 6.
