Resource Overview

A MATLAB toolkit for optical components enabling spot simulation, geometric aberration analysis (including coma and spherical aberration), and MTF simulation for comprehensive optical performance evaluation.

Detailed Documentation

The MATLAB toolkit for optical components provides diverse practical functions to enhance your simulation capabilities. Through this toolkit, you can perform spot simulations and analyze geometric aberrations such as coma and spherical aberration using built-in algorithms like Zernike polynomial decomposition for wavefront error quantification. The package includes MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) simulation features implemented via Fourier optics principles, allowing you to evaluate optical resolution and sharpness through frequency response calculations. Additionally, the toolkit offers functionalities for optical system design and optimization using merit functions and constraint-based algorithms, along with performance analysis and testing modules for optical elements that incorporate ray tracing and statistical evaluation methods. By leveraging these tools, users can gain deeper insights into optical system behavior, optimize component performance through parametric studies, and ultimately improve system efficiency and reliability through iterative simulation-driven refinement.
