Introduction

This gallery contains a collection of examples demonstrating the capabilities of Optiland. Each example is a self-contained Jupyter notebook that shows how to achieve a specific task using Optiland. The examples cover a wide range of topics, from basic lens design to freeform optics. For more detailed explanations of how to use Optiland, see the step-by-step learning guide.
