If I model a plane mirror in Zemax OpticStudio and provide some thickness or multiple layers/interfaces for example in windshields then, a source object will have multiple images formed due to these interfaces.
Is it possible to do an image simulation and see how the image of an object is gonna look like?
Thank You
You would certainly have to use the non-sequential analysis, since sequential analysis does not follow this kind of reflected rays off of lens interfaces.
The trick with this is that you will have to control the "depth" of the scattering in the controls for the non-sequential scattering.
It is fairly simple to convert a model or a range of elements in a sequential model into non-sequential elements. Their help file should describe a step by step method. Then you could save the file as non-sequential.
But, a word of warning: if you have any solves, or scripts, etc. there is no guarantee that these will be carried over to the non-sequential analysis.
Thanks Benjamin for the response. For now, I tried doing image simulation for two different configurations in seq. and then added the two images using a software called ImageJ. Although I m still not sure how correct is this approach to do it. But, I will certainly look into doing as per your suggestions about non-seq. mode.
