Tutorial: Thermal Modeling in Zemax Introduction Frequently an optical system must perform adequately over a range of temperatures; the Zemax multi-configuration tool offers a convenient means of analyzing optical performance for this situation. This tutorial presents a brief review of an analytical approach to thermal-optical analysis presented in Opti521 lectures, and then shows in detail …
Tolerancing in ZEMAX Abstract Tolerancing is a very useful skill to have as an optical engineer. If an optical system is to be built, a tolerance analysis must be performed to ensure that the system will meet the performance specifications. Tolerances should be specified for any parameters in a system that might vary by some …
Tolerancing in Zemax Introduction Being able to design a good optical system is important as an optical engineer, but equally as important is being able to tolerance it. Without this skill it is near impossible to bring any theoretical system that you have designed to reality. For simple systems consisting of perhaps one or two …
