Menue: Fit Index Data
Input of data: 2 options:
1. explicite entering wavelengths and indices
2. load file xxx.dat with two columns:
wavelength in mm and index
Choice of 4 different dispersion formulas
After fit:
- pv and rms of approximation visible
- no individual errors seen
- new material can be added to catalog
- data input can be saved to file

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; only spherical
Works for single lenses and achromates
Compensation due to thickness adjustments is optional
Reverting a lens to optimize (?)
Top results are listed
Combination of best single lens substitutions is possible.
Overall optimization with nonlinear interaction ?

In the menue TOOLS – DESIGN – QUICK FOCUS we have the opportunity 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

In the menue TOOLS – DESIGN – QUICK ADJUST we have the opportunity to adjust
1. one thickness
2. one radius
similar to the quick focus function some where in the system.
But: the effect is iterative, in case of nonlinearities, some calls are necessary
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
system to focus the image
Spots before and after thew adjustment
