Hello, I am new to Zemax, I have a question.

I have a picture of fringe patterns, I used matlab to extract the surface phase map out of it.

Then I wanted to find the zernike surface that is the same as surface map using this :

I found ‘a’ are these the zernike coefficients?.

however, I plot the zernike surface using f = Z.a and I got this:

My main question is:

Can I import the same coefficients ‘a’ into Zemax and get the same surface map “2D and 3D”?

if yes, I need help how to do it.

I am new in Zemax so I don’t know anything.

thank you in advance.

[ please if you know how to do it and if you have time, talk to me in telegram:@khalil165 ]
