Hi Team Zemax,


 


I wish to simulate a grating on curved surfaces i.e different pitches (period) in different zones on the curved surface. Can anybody help me to simulate such a grating. I hope I was approaching rightly by choosing an elliptical grating surface in SEQ mode that I could barely correlate it with what I am looking for. 


 


Thanks in advance,

Hi Avijit ,



If I understand your question correctly, all you need for elliptical grating simulation is to choose the grating type from the Surface Type column in the Lens Data tab (see the attached image) and then you will be able to populate your parameters of the grating in the corresponding row.


In surface 10 in the image below, you will see a dropdown list and you can choose the 'elliptical grating'.



 


Hope this helps

Cheers,

Naif
