How to set a model for imaging at two object planes and form images on one image plane but two virtual images

Recently, many research and development are on multi focal plane image for head up display.

It needs to build an optical model to simulate the case below:

  1. There are two object planes (usually two optical paths);
  2. Need to for images on one image plane (eye box)
  3. form two or more virtual images in front of a car.

Usually, the sequential lens editor of zemax opticstudio is set for modeling a system with one object plane and one image plane. Could you any experienced staff tell me how to set such a  model for simulating multifocal virtual imaging of Head up display.

Thank you!

Hi @ruik.Zhang,

To model this in Sequential mode, you will need to create a Multi-Configuration design where you can redefine the object fields and optical paths for each configuration: Using Multi-Configuration Operands to control parameters in a single configuration system – Knowledgebase (zemax.com).

Also, in case it is helpful, there is a very interesting Knowledgebase article on modeling a heads-up-display: Which tools to use when working on a Head-up-Display? – Knowledgebase (zemax.com).

I hope you find this information helpful.

Best,
Ethan
