Paraxial Assumptions Tool

Both because of the practical role that paraxial behavior plays in countless optical systems, and due to the drastic simplification of the mathematics and numerics involved that an assumption of paraxiality often entails, it makes sense to offer users of physical optics software the possibility of benefiting from these advantages. That is precisely what VirtualLab Fusion does: in a control panel specifically designed for the purpose, the user can both get an overview at a glance of the current status of the configuration of the system regarding the paraxial assumptions, and also modify that configuration for the whole system in a convenient, easy-to-use tool.
