Changelog
Changelog v26.06
NEW: Solves for parameters within the optical design editor.
Possibility to solve for focus / pupil position (marginal ray solve, paraxial ray solves) alignment of surfaces or lenses (chief ray solves) as well as curvature solves.
NEW: Larger improvement to the Wave Optics Toolbox. More accurate wave optical propagation for high NA systems.
NEW: Additional options for apodization (Lambertian / Isotropic).
NEW: RGB Irradiance plot.
NEW: Full polarization support for Gaussian beam sources.
NEW: Polychromatic MTF optimization goal.
NEW: Thermal expansion coefficient optimization goal.
CHG: More than one Zernike tolerance allowed per surface.
FIX: Compensators were applied to nominal merit function.
FIX: Ray highlighting did not work in the patch version v26.02.4.
FIX: Many smaller fixes and improvements.
Changelog v26.06.01
FIX: PSF / MTF sometimes reported zero intensity for sequences with aperture type none.
FIX: PSF / MTF did not work for fields at exactly 90° angle (wide angle).
FIX: Compensators in tolerancer in some cases used wrong merit function within the latest release.
FIX: Analytic intersection of Axicon with tip-radius did not work properly in some cases.
FIX: Export of Sensitivity Tolerance data to CSV did not work.
FIX: Multi Mode Fiber coupling scan used mm instead of um as core diameter unit.
Changelog v26.06.02
FIX: Some models with Thermal Multiconfigurations could crash on load.
FIX: Angular Tolerance with Radial Tolerance distribution affected Position Tolerance.
Changelog v26.06.03
NEW: Tolerance distribution plot
NEW: Right click menu on plots and reports in tree view
NEW: Surface texture marker for non-optical surfaces in ISO drawing

NEW: Model material ZMX export
NEW: Part name and revision in ISO drawing
CHG: Default Abbe/Index tolerance is in % when relative
FIX: Spot diagram with chief ray reference was decentered in some cases
FIX: ISO drawing diameter wa taking wrong parameter when doublet
FIX: ISO drawing for assemblies with z != 0 was decentered
FIX: Some mechanical optimization targets did not properly work with "All" selected
FIX: 2D cirular random distribution
