Observation of a 3D interferometry model in non sequential mode


Marie.Fournier

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to create a 3D interferometry model using a detector volume. I first checked that I was able to detect the interferences in 2D, before using a detector volume, as in the tutorial: How to show Detector Volume data in 3-D – Knowledgebase (zemax.com).

My system uses 3 source ellipse and a detector volume of opacity 10%.

However, I cannot see any absorbed flux on my detector volume, but I don’t know why. I suspect that without detecting any absorbed flux the Macro given by the tutorial cannot be run properly. 

Can you help me with that?

Best regards,

Marie Fournier.

Thank you for the advice Mark.

Finally I found the problem of the absorbed flux: in order to work properly in absorbed flux mode, the detector volume must contain an object such as a lens. That is why it didn’t work.

Best regards,

Marie.

I don’t think the Detector Volume can sample the coherent intensity, which is necessary to view fringes. I’d use a series of Dectector Rectangles over the detection volume instead.
