There are 4 types of windows in Zemax:
1. Editors for data input:
lens data, extra data, multiconfiguration, tolerances
2. Output windows for graphical representation of results
Here mostly setting-windowss are supported to optimize the layout
3. Text windows for output in ASCII numerical numbers (can be exported)
4. Dialog boxes for data input, error reports and more
There are several files associates with Zemax
1. Data files (.ZMX)
2. Session files (.SES) for system settings (can be de-activated)
3. Glass catalogs, lens catalogs, coating catalogs, BRDF catalogs, macros,
images, POP data, refractive index files,...
There are in general two working modes of Zemax
1. Sequential raytrace (or partial non-sequencial)
2. Non-sequential

Cardinal Points of a Lens
P'
s'P'
Real lenses:
The surface with the principal points
as apparent ray bending points is a
curved shell
The ideal principal plane exists only
in the paraxial approximation
Generalization of paraxial picture:
Principal surface works as effective location of ray bending
for object points near the optical axis (isoplanatic patch)
Paraxial approximation: plane
Can be used for all rays to find
the imaged ray
Real systems with corrected
sine-condition (aplanatic):
principal sphere
The principal sphere can not be
used to construct arbitrary ray
paths
If the sine correction is not
fulfilled: more complicated
shape of the arteficial surface,
that represents the ray bending

28
The principal planes in paraxial optics are defined as the locations of the apparent ray bending
of a lens of system
In the case of a system with corrected sine conditions, these surfaces are spheres
Sine condition and pupil spheres are also limited for off-axis points near to the optical axis
For object points far from the axis, the apparent locations are complicated surfaces, which
may consist of two branches
29
Limitation of Principal Surface Definition
Different possible options for specification of the aperture in Zemax:
1. Entrance pupil diameter
2. Image space F#
3. Object space NA
4. Paraxial working F#
5. Object cone angle
6. Floating by stop size
Stop location:
1. Fixes the chief ray intersection point
2. input not necessary for telecentric object space
3. is used for aperture determination in case of aiming
Special cases:
1. Object in infinity (NA, cone angle input impossible)
2. Image in infinity (afocal)
3. Object space telecentric

1. Determination of one surface as system stop:
- Fixes the chief ray intersection point with axis
- can be set in surface properties menu
- indicated by STO in lens data editor
- determines the aperture for the option 'float by stop size'
2. Diameters in lens data editor
- indicated U for user defined
- only circular shape
- effects drawing
- effects ray vignetting
- can be used to draw 'nice lenses' with
overflow of diameter
3. Diameters as surface properties:
- effects on rays in drawing (vignetting)
- no effect on lens shapes in drawing
- also complicated shapes and decenter
possible
- indicated in lens data editor by a star
33
Diameters and stop sizes
4. Individual aperture sizes for every field point can be set by the vignetting factors of the
Field menu
- real diameters at surfaces must be set
