ZEMAX Applications

A microlithography projection lens designed modelled in the Sequential mode of ZEMAX (taken from ZEBASE)

Physical Optics Propagation (POP) showing the change in the beam profile as it focuses.

A Twyman-Green Interferometer modelled in the Non-Sequential Mode of ZEMAX, incorporating Newport-Spectra Physics mounts imported from CAD.

The Non-Sequential mode of ZEMAX being used to study stray light in a telescope.

A F3-5 Zoom Lens designed in Sequential mode. The middle element is drawn as translucent to show the internal ray path.

Non-Sequential mode being used to create a bespoke shape diffractive lens using Boolean operations.

The surfaces of all objects, including those imported from CAD, can be assigned different optical properties, including coatings and scatter profiles.

Catadioptric XY Scan system in Sequential mode. The mirrors scan in two orthogonal axes and the Biconic lens brings the beams to focus.
