Question

Optimization for largest spot size, or set spot size

I am trying to get a lens to diverge a large amount, but due to size constrictions I have to keep the lens within the 3mm size. I am trying to have the system optimize the thickness, and curvatures to maximize the spot size (30 mm 10 mm away). How do you set up an optimization to maximize divergence/spot size?

You can set DMVA for example if you don’t worry about performance.

Can you specify if you are using sequential or non-sequential mode for this? It is possible to use operands that target ray positions and angles, and you can use both, but there will be different ones depending on which mode you are using.

Hi Kevin, I am in sequential mode.
