Where does CODE V fit in? What sorts of photonics systems can CODE V handle?
CODE V was originally developed as a tool for the design and analysis of image-forming optical systems such as microscopes, cameras, laser scanners, and scientific instruments. Many photonics systems have components that are fundamentally similar to conventional image-forming optics. CODE V is a powerful tool for working at the optical component level, but it does not have features related to complete systems, networks, etc.
