25 Lens Catalogs Lens catalogs: Data of commercial lens vendors Searching machine for one vendor Componenets can be loaded or inserted Preview and data prescription possible Special code of components in brackets according to search criteria 25

26 Lens Catalogs Some sstem with more than one lens available Sometimes: - aspherical constants wrong - hidden data with diameters, wavelengths,... - problems with old glasses Data stored in binar.zmf format Search over all catalogs not possible Catalogs changes dnamicall with ever release Private catalog can be generated 26

27 Stock Lens Matching This tool swaps out lenses in a design to the nearest equivalent candidate out of a vendor catalogue It works together with the merit function requirements (with constraints) Aspheric, GRIN and toroidal surfaces not supported; onl spherical Works for single lenses and achromates Compensation due to thickness adjustments is optional Reverting a lens to optimize (?)

30 30 Quick Focus Option In the menue TOOLS DESIGN QUICK FOCUS we have the opportunit to adjust the image location according to the criteria 1. Spot diameter 2. Wavefront rms 3. Angle radius IN principle, this option is a simplified optimization Example: find the best image plane of a single lens Spot before and after performing the optimal focussing

31 31 Quick Adjust Option In the menue TOOLS DESIGN QUICK ADJUST we have the opportunit to adjust 1. one thickness 2. one radius similar to the quick focus function some where in the sstem. But: the effect is iterative, in case of nonlinearities, some calls are necessar Special application: adjust the air distance before a collimation lens to get the best collimation As criteria, wavefroint, spot diameter of angular radius ar possible Example: Move a lens in between a sstem to focus the image Spots before and after thew adjustment
