Hello there,
When you design the optical layout, you arrive at the last stage where you make sure that all wavelengths are fully accommodated on the detector. Now, some important parameters of the detector include: number of pixels, pixel size (pitch), and detector's dimensions.
At the IMAGE surface, How would you insert all of these parameters so that you are confident about the system's outcomes?
My basic understanding is that the number of pixels & pixe pitch (size) are simulated indirectly (still figuering out how). But, how would you simulate the detector's dimensions so that you make sure your spectral range falls within the detector area?
My suggestion for the Zemax developers is that they enable an interface where these detector paramerters are inserted and accounted for.
I would appreacite some insigts about the detector's parameters in Zemax.
Cheers,
Naif
