How to Work with the Programmable Detector and Example
(Minimum and Maximum Wavelengths)
Abstract
Providing maximum versatility for your optical simulations is one of our most fundamental objectives. In this tutorial we go over the Programmable Detector: any physical information contained in the vector field or ray bundles reaching the detector (depending on the simulation engine) can be accessed with maximum flexibility. We include here a simple programming example to illustrate its handling.
