Physlet Optical bench

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

Click Beam/Object/Source then click inside the simulation region to add light source.
Click Lens/Mirror then click inside the simulation to add lens or mirror.
Drag the focus points to adjust focus length. You can also drag the above objects.
Clear active will remove the last selected object.
You can add what you need to play with it. Enjoy it :-)

Dear Fu-Kwun Hwang,
DO you know of any 2D optical bench similar to what you provided ?
It is very nice And I would be happy if I could add additional components in a 2D environment .
If not - is the source code available for additional development ?
Thanks

You need to ask Wolfgang Christian(author) if you need the source for physlet code.

Thank you for the reply .
I have been searching the web for such a long time and can't find any 2D simulator where one can add mirrors lenses and BS .
It it amazing none exist while they should be quite simple for a good programmer .
I open this question to anyone - do you know of any windows 2D optical workbench / simulator ?
I would be most apreciative.

You can use the above java applet to work with 2D optical bench:
 Yes. You can add mirrors, lens, light sources,...etc.
