Specialized computer programs designed for tasks related to optics and photonics are utilized within the Indian market. These programs facilitate the design, analysis, simulation, and manufacturing of optical components, systems, and instruments. Example applications include lens design for camera systems, simulation of laser propagation in optical fibers, and the creation of holographic elements.
The proliferation of this type of software in India is driven by the growing demands of various sectors, including defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and healthcare. Its use enables enhanced product development cycles, improved accuracy in design, and reduced prototyping costs. Historically, the reliance on foreign providers was substantial, but recent years have witnessed an increase in domestic development and customization to meet specific Indian needs.
