Hi Alex,

Thanks for your question!

I suppose you’re meaning that you’d like to get values for the Huygens PSF analysis in Sequential Mode that report on measured power rather than relative intensity -- is this a correct understanding?

Since Huygens PSF reports the relative intensity (scaling either to normalize the data or normalize relative to the unaberrated PSF peak), you would need to scale the Huygens PSF data based on your input power and the transmission of the optical system itself. You can use an analysis like Analyze tab...Polarization...Transmission to see a breakdown on the transmission of the system per wavelength, per field for some input grid of rays. Once you have a specific field’s transmission, you could use that to scale the HPSF data.

Alternatively, if you can reconstruct your system in Non-Sequential Mode, you could leverage the Huygens PSF calculation there and get a Detector Rectangle output that directly reports measured irradiance. We have information generally on how to set up a non-sequential system for a Huygens PSF result here.

Let us know how these thoughts work for you or if you have any more questions -- thanks!
