Abstract
Gradient Index (GRIN) Optics is a challenging frontier of lens design. We have developed a free, online toolbox for generating gradient optics dynamic linked library (GODLL) files representing an arbitrary, user-defined gradient index profile for use with Zemax OpticStudio. In order to show the accuracy, user-experience and the procedure for usage of GODLL, we have demonstrated the performance of our toolbox using several popular or extreme examples consisting of Maxwells Fisheye Lens, Luneberg Lens, and a typical SELFOC lens.
