Hi everyone,
In zemax is it possible to calculate the volume of the rays.
For instance, below is an image for just a reference.
Open to your comments for possible ways of volume calculation.
Thanks in advance

Volume calculation of traced rays

Hi
I’m not aware of any tool or automated method to calculate the volume of ray bundles in OpticStudio. I think your best bet would be to manually calculate the volume with the equation for a cone, given the length and radius of the bundle.
V = (1/3) · π · r^2 · h
Is there a reason that you want to calculate the volume of the rays, beyond just measuring the cross-section with a detector?
Best,
Ethan
