Efficiently evaluate spherical aberration across complete optical systems
Understanding spherical aberration behavior across all system configurations, wavelengths, and field points is essential for achieving high image quality and optical performance.
Advanced Spherical Aberration Analysis streamlines this evaluation by systematically calculating spherical aberration values — providing clear insights for both design validation and system improvement.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Analysis: Calculates spherical aberration for each configuration, wavelength, and field point of the optical system.
- High Precision Output: Spherical aberration values are expressed in milliwaves (mλ) for accurate and meaningful interpretation.
- Graphical Visualization: Intuitive plots reveal spherical aberration trends and system characteristics.
- Data Export: All calculated values are saved into structured text files for further analysis and documentation.
- Seamless Workflow Integration: Results are also summarized directly in the MATLAB command window for quick inspection.
With Advanced Spherical Aberration Analysis, optical engineers and designers can explore spherical aberration in greater detail, enabling better-informed design choices and enhanced optical system performance.
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.
