Description
In this talk I will discuss the optical modeling efforts used to inform the design of the Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope. I will present some general aspects of this new and exciting telescope design and review expected performance. I will discuss various techniques that we have used in the analysis of this telescope and compare those to similar work for past and current generation experiments. I will conclude by highlighting efforts that can help patch gaps in our current ability to model optical systems for future experiments searching for primordial B-mode polarization.
