In-depth distortion evaluation for optical design
This tool offers fine-grained control over field and pupil sampling, enabling high-resolution distortion analysis. It supports analysis across all configurations and wavelengths, and visualizes distortion behavior with detailed plots. Results are also exported in structured .txt and Excel files for further evaluation.
Key Features:
High-Resolution Analysis: Examines distortion across all field points and wavelengths defined in the file.
Configurable Evaluation: Supports multiple configurations within a single optical design.
Detailed Visualization: Generates plots showing distortion behavior per field and wavelength, enabling easy interpretation.
Numerical Reporting: Outputs tabulated distortion values and metrics for documentation and review.
MATLAB Integration: Results and key statistics are summarized in the MATLAB command window for immediate access.
With this tool, optical engineers can perform a focused distortion evaluation to validate system performance, troubleshoot anomalies, or fine-tune designs for specific field behavior.
Looking for additional functionality? We offer free customization. Whether you need specific plots, analysis features, or other enhancements, we’ll tailor this tool to your requirements—at no extra development cost.
