Hi everyone,

I'm working on an afocal system using its paraxial layout, and I’m wondering if there's a way to specify or constrain the F# of a single paraxial lens within the MFE.

Specifically, I’d like to optimize both the focal length and diameter of the lens, but maintain a fixed ratio between them (i.e., control the F#), or at least define some boundary conditions to keep them consistent.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Easy. Read up on OPGT and OPLT operands.  They'll do it for you.
