Hi,
I am searching for a tool which would help me to draw the optical setups and schematics better than Microsoft powerpoint.
I am attaching the setup which I have drawn using powerpoint; however, I wanted to improve it.

Use Ray optics simulation; freely available software package with Linux mint distribution. This is for simulation purpose (really exciting!)
In addition why do you use powerpoint for such drawings; why don't you use inkscape? Try inkscape, scribus, blender, freecad for drawing and modeling (freecad). All of these are freely available for all operating systems. From these you can export publication quality eps format figures.
Thankyou so much for your valuable suggestions

Hi,
I have found pstricks very convenient. You can find more information in the following document: ftp://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/CTAN/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp/pst-optexp.pdf
I hope it helps.

There is a problem with the link. I attach the pdf file. To get an idea of the schemes that you can create, see Fig. 3 in the following article http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.04397.pdf
Thankyou Luis, I think this is what I was searching for.

Inkscape is a good tool to learn for vector graphics in general, and there are quite a few online tutorials, forums etc. I've made optical setup drawings as well as business cards in it. :)
Thank you Yanlei Hu.
I am using Inkscape with gwoptics component library, its working great.
Use of inkscape software will be helpful in this regard.
It is free vector graphics software available for multiple platform where you can edit any kind of vector graphics content
