Abstract :
This paper presents the new software tool - ILASH - that was developed at IT under contract for ESA-ESTEC. The set of powerful tools for double-shell lens design, analysis, optimization and diagnosis along with its Windows-based user-friendly interface make the ILASH tool unique. ILASH software tool proved to be reliable, accurate and very versatile. It not only enables the lens design, but the wide range of possible analysis and diagnosis tools allows a complete insight on the lens properties and limitations.
