Abstract
Much of optical analysis and design falls into three major categories: geometrical ray tracing, physical optics modeling, and waveguide modeling. Traditionally optical modeling codes have concentrated primarily on only one of these areas. The subject of this paper is building a single code to model all three optical domains under the heading of wave-optical systems engineering.
