Asphere design in CODE V
应用文章
This asset introduces powerful aspheric surface modeling capabilities in CODE V®, based on the mathematical work of Dr. G.W. Forbes of QED Technologies. These formulations offer key advantages over traditional asphere models, including orthogonality, fewer required coefficients and improved testability.
Topics covered include:
The benefits of using Q-type polynomials over standard power-series and Zernike approaches
How Qbfs and Qcon formulations improve design optimization and tolerancing
Practical implications for reducing fabrication complexity and cost
CODE V’s full integration of these methods for real-world optical system development
This overview is ideal for optical designers working with compact and high-performance imaging systems. It explains how Q-type surfaces enable smarter design decisions and manufacturable results.
