Hi, I want to design a schmidt prism in seq mode. How should I approach?
Question
Design of prism

It might be challenging in sequential mode. Rays are expected to move forward along the optical axis direction (it makes the ray tracing more straightforward under the hood). I would stick to non-sequential for the prism design if I were you. What kind of analysis you need from sequential mode? You could use OpticStudio mixed mode, where the prism is made in non-sequential and introduced in a sequential system with a Non-Sequential Component surface (see post below).
Also, its not totally relevant, but you might take something away from the accepted answer of this post:
Take care,
David
