This page is an entry point for finding the publicly available AAT optical designs.

Only designs which are considered public will be found here.

ZEMAX file types.

• CFG: ZEMAX configuration file, which contains saved analysis settings
• SES: ZEMAX session file, which contains information on open windows and their settings
• ZAR: ZEMAX archive file, which contains all of the files associated with a given lens design
• ZMX: ZEMAX lens file, which contains all design specifications

2dF Corrector

This was obtained from Damien Jones (Prime Optics) by Luk Gers on 17/Jan/2011. Damien Stated: "What appears to be lateral colour is in fact what we called "CvD", or chromatic variation of distortion. You can see it when you look at the colour dependence of the Seidel distortion coefficient, in fact, this was back pre-zemax, so I balanced lateral colour with this term to 3rd order in the pre-optimisation runs."
