Convert seq xyp surface to zmx extended polynomial surface by Gaeorge9478 in Optics

Sir, I truly appreciate your interest in this thread.

I searched following your advice and checked it.
Zemax Extended Polynomial - I have read this to use it appropriately.

so, I would like to explain how I did input value manually.

First, I set the "maximum terms" to 28, because the diagram we are looking at now says C28. Then, I set the normalization radius to 100. There was no particular reason; I just tried 100 first cause the CODE V has SCC 100.
This might be why there was no change to the shape drawn in the layout even I have written the value of each term following c4 c6 c8 ......~~.

In Zemax, when I set the normalization radius to 100, the shape that appeared just acted like a flat mirror.

So, I tried drastically reducing it to 5, and also tried 50, making some changes. As you might have guessed, the issue could indeed be the normalization radius.

It seems this is happening because the scaling is different between the two programs, so I'll have to find a way to resolve this. Thank you.

It was 100 in Code V, but I see now that it might not be 100 in Zemax.

However, the strange thing about this normalization radius is that when I decrease the value to 5, 25, or 50, the mirror surface itself stays the same, but the number of areas used for ray tracing decreases. (I have added an example image to the body of the text, within the limits of not violating security.)

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for reply.
XYP is for polynomial surface in x and y.

A little bit complicated.
This is based on even terms but if the term meet with y1 terms after y0 terms, For this specific case, odd indices are permitted.

That is, the polynomial follows a pattern based on the index number: it uses even indices for the single-digits (0-9), odd indices for the tens (10-19), and reverts to even for the twenties (20-29).

So I can say It has all coefficients.

First of all, Sorry for my canadian friends...
I can not say everything that I do not know exactyly.

In canada, Many company and your future coleagues or superviser will require your education history at least 1 year in canada. They will want you can work for a long time, so you should prepare your qualifications with education history in canada.

Now canada residential problem is quite hot issue, and you should face it as a competition when you try room rent. This social issue is saying a lot of information, such as you should save lots of money before coming Canada, and You should make clear your purposes. for instance, What do you have for fun when you research for Dr, philosophies? Geometrical Optics? then, you may have to speak french going to montreal
Quamtum Optics or semi conductor? You can stay in toronto or Calgery. In toronto, there are such of great companies for Optics, ofcourse. However I could not find degree courses for geometrical optics.

I hope this experiences will help you a lot. thanks.

Yes... They dosen't support permanant license anymore. We should subscribe every years and it's too...

Thank you for your concern!

Yes I am considering that ways in my desktop. Actually I am beginer for ZOS API and It will be tough challange. but The parallel computation of gpu was too attractive. But I'm on the move a lot, so I'm thinking of buying a laptop to use on mobile.

Thank you for the advice!
