Input surface map (Surface Sag) to ZEMAX


Raymond

Hi all,


I am currently doing an optics project with some mechanical simulations.


We are trying to simulate the surface deformation with mechanical design software.


Then input the data to ZEMAX.


If I have a sag data like the attached,


could I input these data to get the surface in ZEMAX? Including radius of curvature and aspherical coefficients.


Thank you,


Raymond

Hi Raymond,


Andrey is correct - the Grid Sag will let you input that data directly into OpticStudio as a surface. I have written a series of Knowledgebase articles about the Grid Sag surface. I think you will find the first two articles helpful:

You can use Grid Sag surface to import data.
