Hello,

I need to simulate a VEMD2000X01 photodiode in Non-sequential mode using ZOS-API. The photodiode has a small lens above giving it the attached radiance intensity dependence to angle. 

I would like first to avoid having to simulate the lens above the photodiode and would like instead to give the detector an "angular sensitivity". I was thinking of using a polar detector to do so, as described in example 8 of the ZOS-API: "PythonStandalone_08_NSCEDetectorData.py" with enough "polar pixels" and then weight the number of measured rays in each polar pixel by the relative sensitivity above using python:

-Is this the correct way to go forward?

-Alternatively, can all this be done entirely in Zemax: Enter relative radiant sensitivity to angle for a detector in Zemax? and if yes, how should this be implemented in the ZOS-API?

Thanks,

Greg
