How to define the ray tracing coordinate (Hx,Hy,Px,Py)?

Userlevel 1

Hi Zemax Community,

Can you help me with this? I have read the passage

and want to confirm that my understanding is right.

Things want to do

To trace the specified field & wavelength light ray location on the image surface.

here are wave1 and wave2 at field1 (my model is a spectrometer)

I use REAY in merit function and set the wave1 and wave2 coordinate as below

but I am not sure whether it is right , could you please help me see it ?

Thanks

Hi @Yang.Yongtao

Open the field data editor and define your fields there:

Hx, Hy are normalized definitions.

So when x=0.5 in the object plane → Hx=1

When y=0.5 in the object plane → Hy=1

You can then check this with the Single Ray Trace:
