Hi All,
I am modeling optical system where there is a need to know the angles of the propgating rays after reflection, diffraction etc.
However, when using the Detector viewer/radiance space, I found different angles than anticipated.
For example, propagating free rays with tilt x 30, tilt y 20- I got: 21, 28.8 at the detector(attached here):
What happend?
Thanks,
Nadav
+2Hi Nadav,
The Tilt About X and Tilt About Y cells act upon the local coordinate system of the object, so if you have both an X and Y tilt, you need to consider the final compounded tilt to get the actual angle the rotated local coordinate makes in global space.
The following Knowledgebase Article provides an in-depth discussion of rotation angles in OpticStudio:
