How to Find Local Linear Increase in Lens Field Data?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the local linear increase in lens field data, specifically using the ratio of Real Height to Ref. Height. The user is analyzing a dataset that includes vectors such as Y height, Tan Shift, Sag Shift, and Distortion. It is concluded that while the Real Height/Ref. Height ratio is close to Distortion, it does not provide the correct answer for calculating the local linear increase. The user references a specific resource for additional context on field curvature data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of lens field data and curvature analysis
  • Familiarity with optical engineering concepts
  • Knowledge of vector analysis in the context of optics
  • Basic proficiency in interpreting ratios and their significance in optical measurements

Homework Statement



Hello!
I need to find a local linear increase in the field of the lens.

I have Listing of Field Curvature Data.

It contains vectors of - Y height, Tan Shift, Sag Shift, Real Height, Ref. Height, Distortion.

I can not understand how these data get what I need.

Homework Equations



Local linear increase in the field of the lens is the ratio of the size of a small object (in the limit of the size tends to zero) located at any distance from the lens center (in this case, the axis Y) to its size in the middle of the field.

The Attempt at a Solution



Real Height/Ref. Height ratio is close to Distortion, but not equal, may be it is answer?

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?
 
These data appear as those that are presented here:
http://www.johnloomis.org/eop601/designs/kidger1/zemax.html

In section Listing of Field Curvature Data.

Real Height/Ref. Height ratio is not the answer.
Relative local linear increase in the center of Y = 0 is taken as 1.

Sorry, that's all.
