Optical System Simulation

This is a toy simulation for an optical system. It is written in MATLAB. In order to run the test scripts, you need to add this folder to MATLAB's path.

NOTE: Some functions are based on my another project Color Science Utils. You'd better clone it and add it into your MATLAB's path before you run this repository.

Features

• All spherical/conical surfaces system.
• All 3rd order aberration.
• All aberration plots (ray fan plot, spot plot, etc.) based on real ray tracing.
• Optimization ability.
• OOP programing style.

Quick start

See examples/doublet_main.m for detail. Here are some brief introductions.

To get spectral lines, function get_fraunhofer_line is helpful.

d_line = get_fraunhofer_line('d');
F_line = get_fraunhofer_line('F');
C_line = get_fraunhofer_line('C');

Use class OpticalSystem to build up your system, with given surface curvatures and thicknesses.

c_array = [9.3730e-4, -1.2959e-3, -1.2959e-3, -2.4094e-4];
t_array = [18, 0.3, 10, 2000];
sys = OpticalSystem(c_array, t_array, {'N-BK7', 'AIR', 'F2', 'AIR'});

The system can solve height for every surface, according to given F-number and field angle. All heights are determined so that no surface stops light at its edge.

sys = sys.solveApertureHeight(f_number, field_angle);

Show some charts, including system profile, some aberration charts, etc.

sys.plotShapeProfile('ShowRays', false);

sys.plotLsa({'d', 'C', 'F', 'e', 'g', 'r'}, 'xlim', [-6, 6], 'ShowLegend', true);

sys.plotRayFan([d_line, C_line, F_line, e_line, g_line, r_line], ...
    [0, 0.5, 1] * field_angle, image_curvature);

sys.plotSpotDiagram([C_line, d_line, e_line, F_line], field_angle * [0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0], ...
    'ImageCurv', image_curvature, 'WidthLength', 600e-3);

I'll write a tutorial when I have time.
