Abstract

ZOSPy is an open-source Python interface to the OpticStudio API that simplifies scripting for optical ray-tracing workflows. It wraps complex .NET interactions, provides readable high-level analysis calls, supports autocompletion and unit testing, and enables more reproducible, shareable, and scalable optical simulations than predominantly manual GUI workflows.
