OPTICO simulation tool

Together with students, Prof. Dr. Michael Wick has developed a web-based simulation tool in the field of optics.
The interactive tool simulates light refraction on lenses and in real time and offers the following features: spot diagram (3D), transverse aberration diagram, spherical lenses, ideal lenses, mirrors, apertures, rudimentary ZEMAX import

Main research areas

Prof. Dr. Michael Wick is involved in the development and simulation of optical systems in the fields of metrology, health care, microscopy and photography.
In the simulation of imaging systems, his focus is on the development of new methods for physics-based rendering at the interface of physics/optics and computer graphics.
Another focus of his work is the reconstruction and solution of inverse problems that arise in the aforementioned application areas.
He is also interested in the 3D capture and digitization of optical properties of objects for the fields of health care and cultural heritage.
Prof. Wick is also developing new didactic methods for the interactive visualization of physical relationships.
Prof. Wick is a member of the Sensor Technology and Analytics research focus at Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
