I want to optimize my system for the best physical optics phase uniformity and in the same time to keep as many the original parameters of the system. Is there any operands in merit function editor that can help me to do this?

Hi Shmidov,

 

There’s an operand called POPD for Physical Optics Propagation Data, and it can display the peak-to-valley (PTV) of the phase once you use Data = 35. You could try to minimize this value, either by targeting to zero or use OPLT (operand lesser than) to have it lower than a certain threshold (probably better solution).

Please make sure you set POPD correctly. There are some resources in the knowledgebase such as:

Hope this helps, take care,
