ZMXReader.surfaceInfoΒΆ

raytracing.ZMXReader.surfaceInfo(self, index)

Make sense of rawSurfaceInfo from the Zemax file to put it together into a Surface-namedtuple that makes more sense.

  1. We figure out the material and replace it with Raytracing Material subclass.
  2. We convert CURV into a radius.
  3. We use DIAM as the diameter of the element. For some reason DIAM is half the diameter.
  4. The distance to the next interface is read as well.
Returns:
Return type:A Surface Named-tuple.
