Hi, I have a Zemax OpticStudio version 16.I'd like run Python in this version. Could anyone know how to start it?Best Regards
Hi, I run a Python program in Zemax OpticStudio version 16. But it show as following error. How do I fix it? aKey = winreg.OpenKey(winreg.ConnectRegistry(None, winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER), r"Software\Zemax", 0, winreg.KEY_READ)
Hey everyone,I am going to teach an OpticStudio course at a university and they have an academic license for all Ansys products including OpticStudio.However, what surprised me is that as far as I understood it is not possible for students or me to install and use OpticStudio locally, without a remote connection to the university Ansys server.I distinctly remember that a few years ago I did an online course at a university and got an OpticStudio license which I could use without any problems fully locally.Did the policy change? Is it not possible anymore to just have OpticStudio run locally with an academic license on your private PC? Best regards,Mikayel.
Why does the POP analysis run after every single settings change. What if I wish to change other settings also. The POP algorithm goes off on a long analysis run that can be terminated (there is also a waiting period for terminate to complete) Is there a way to make multiple changes to settings without the analysis starting before I finish? Problem solved. Unclick the Auto Apply button.
How to calculate the sensitivity analysis after tolerancing?
This Surface Scatter DLL models a Lambertian scattering and contains a depolarization fraction parameter to depolarize part of the scattered rays. That DLL is a good example to demonstrate how to control the electric field and how to implement importance sampling. The code is based on "{Zemax}\DLL\SurfaceScatter\Lambertian.DLL".

Hey Peeps,SPIE has a new book out: https://spie.org/Publications/Book/100014 called Optics Using Python.I have bought but not received a copy yet, so no review, but it looks interesting and generally applicable to anyone who uses Python to connect to ZOS-API.Mark
I am trying to perform a tolerancing analysis of a complex illumination system consisting of lots of flat and powered mirrors which expand the output into a large (about 30 cm) output beam. I am trying to establish how many compensators are required in the system to maintain good collimation of the output beam when reasonable manufacturing tolerances are applied. Therefore I am using a merit function which is the RMS angular radius at the output. I want to measure this down to sub-arcsecond levels of precision. However, I am relatively un-interested in the actual direction of the output beam. Applying a set of tolerances to the optical components in my system cause the output beam direction to drift a lot relative to the change in the collimation of the beam and so in order to measure the beam I must use a detector rectangle with fairly broad range of angles (in this case I am using +/-0.3 degrees). The problem is that even with the maximum number of pixels for the detector rectangle o
I’m using Optic Studio non-sequential to simulate broadband light source, filters, and optics and I want to convert the image plane irradiance (color detector) to photons. Is there any easy way to make the per wavelength conversion to photons? Ideally, I’d like to do this inside my merit function.This is ultimately to estimate number of detected electrons.Thanks for any ideas or direction,John
Dear ExpertsI have calculated two end coordinate points of an off-axis parabolic mirror lets say (184, 13.5) and (217, 18.8), may i ask if i can design this mirror in zemax by using these coordinate points and focal length of 200 micron. Please advise All units are in micrometer. sincerelysaif
Hello everyone, I tried to use the “Voxel Maker.ZPL” macro provided in the following article: How to show Detector Volume data in 3-D, but even though no errors appear, it doesn’t create any imported CAD. Is there any new version I can use?Thank you!
What do the PSP operands do?
Dear All, Do you know if it is possible to convert a Zemax file into a file readable by the CODE V software? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards,Aniello
While tolerancing for an optical system I have chosen the criterion as Merit Function. However when the analysis is performed the nominal criterion is taken as zero. Also no change in the system is taking place for the tilts and decenter. However there is change when TTHI is used, but variation in the Best and Worst is more the accepted range. So why is this so and how can I rectify this problem?
I am trying to find the best focal plane of an optical system with two lenses. The distance between the last lens surface and the imaging plane is varied to minimize RMS spot size or POPD, data=51, Xtr1=0.86. The result I got indicate I will get a focus at ~57mm after the last lens surface with ray tracing, but with POPD, it seems I will never get a focus after the last lens.I am wondering what could be the cause of such a big difference and which is more trust-worthy? The ray tracing result makes more sense, but shouldn’t POP give more accurate results?What am I missing here?Look forward to your advice. Thanks very much.
