Hello all,

I have a model of the objective, from the supplier as well the lens and wavefront data with Zernike values.

The Zernike coefficients in the model do not match the values in the measurements which I assume comes from the manufacturing and assembly tolerances.

I want to use the optimization function with the lens dimensions as variables, including tilt and decenter and use the optimization process to reach the dimensions and other parameters that yields similar Zernike values as the measurements.

I set up the Zernike polynomial operands with the wavelength and other settings. Use the values of the different Zernike coefficients that I want to reach as “targets” in the editor but when running the optimization, I am far off from the values where I want to be. Am I making a mistake in setting up the operands? Or am I underestimating the complexity of what I want to do, and it will not be feasible?

Has anyone performed such an analysis before? 

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Best regards,

Amit
