Hi all,
Has anyone optimized a NURBS freeform suface for imaging? According to an article published in 2016, the major optical design programs including Zemax were not capable of optimizing NURBS grid-type surfaces in imaging systems: https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/journals/optical-engineering/volume-55/issue-07/071208/Imaging-freeform-optical-systems-designed-with-NURBS-surfaces/10.1117/1.OE.55.7.071208.full?SSO=1
I’d like to know if that capability has been updated in newer versions of OpticStudio, and if there is any criteria for defining the weights on each term. I tried to optimize an imaging system using the Radial NURBS surface, but the program crashes each time I run the local optimization.
Thanks,
José
