Hi all,
I want use zemax to design stereoscope like the below picture. I got left optical path done, the third doublet offset realized with coordinate break. Now I want add right optical path to the design file, which is identical to the left optical path, just have a offset. How I can use coordinate break to do this? Also, this means it has two image planes. Any suggestion are appreciated.
Thanks,
Xiaolei
Hi
Sequential mode requires tracing surfaces in sequence, so achieving the intended multi-path design would be challenging and likely unphysical. You could consider the use of Muti-Configurations as a good approach to quickly move between the left and right optical paths. For more information on the Multi-Configuration Editor and configuration operands, please take a look at this Knowledgebase article:
If you do want to trace these paths simultaneously, with two separate detectors, you will need to use Non-Sequential mode for the analysis. OpticStudio provides a convenient tool for converting a Sequential design to Non-Sequential that you can learn more about here:
Converting sequential surfaces to non-sequential objects – Knowledgebase (zemax.com)
Be sure to check the converted design carefully to make sure that everything is represented as you intended.
Best,
Ethan
