MZA Associates Corp.
Engineering and software group producing MATLAB-based tools, libraries, and documentation for optical test systems, wave-optics simulation, and event-driven simulation frameworks. Work includes wavefront-sensor control and analysis software, MATLAB/C++ integration for running simulation components from MATLAB, a binary recorder file format and toolbox for MATLAB, and development and validation of wave-optics models and example system libraries. Documentation and tooling cover the visual editor, C++ system class APIs, run-set management, interpolation methods, and Monte Carlo seeding strategies.

Services
MATLAB-based wavefront sensor control and analysis software
GUI software to acquire camera images, control illumination patterns, compute modal coefficients, visualize results, and save test data; delivered as MATLAB code with compiled extension interfaces.
Compiled simulation component toolchain and MATLAB integration
Toolbox routines and workflows to compile C++ run-set code into MATLAB-callable binaries, create/manage component handles from MATLAB, run simulations to virtual time, and access outputs for analysis.
Recorder file format and MATLAB post-processing toolbox
Binary recorder file format for efficient storage of time-history simulation outputs and a MATLAB toolbox to open, query, select, load, and pack recorded data for plotting and statistical analysis.
Optical propagation modeling, analysis and anchoring studies
Simulation and validation studies comparing propagation and phase-screen models to reference codes and experiments; includes guidance on numerical choices, interpolation, filtering, and Monte Carlo statistics.
Simulation framework development and system-class library support
Development and customization of C++ system classes, visual-editor templates, run-set configurations, and example models for optical and control-system simulations; includes guidance on library/work-directory management and copy semantics.
