Aspheric Terms - Insert Lens dialog

Question 2

I am entering aspheric terms in the Insert Lens Element dialog, how are the parameters defined in the sag equation?

Synopsis

Aspheric Terms - Insert Lens dialog

Solution

The description of the terms in the sag equation is in the User's Manual (Lens Element section in Chapter 2) and Help (Geometry Commands > Lens Element > Surfaces). The variables in the Insert Lens Element dialog are defined as follows:
  • Curvature = 1/Radius
  • Aspheric surface equation - each aspheric surface type lists terms that are explained in the Help and User's Manual.
