Asphere Coefficients Variable Module

This module contains the AsphereCoeffVariable class, which represents a variable for an aspheric coefficient in an optical system. The variable can be used in optimization problems to optimize the aspheric coefficients of an optical system.

Classes

AsphereCoeffVariable(optic, surface_number, ...)

Represents a variable for an aspheric coefficient in an optical system.
class AsphereCoeffVariable(optic, surface_number, coeff_number, scaler=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Represents a variable for an aspheric coefficient in an optical system.

Parameters:

  • optic (Optic) – The optic object associated with the variable.

  • surface_number (int) – The index of the surface in the optical system.

  • coeff_number (int) – The index of the aspheric coefficient.

  • scaler (Scaler) – The scaler to use for the variable. Defaults to a linear scaler with a factor that depends on the coefficient number and order.

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments.

Variables:

coeff_number (int) – The index of the aspheric coefficient.

get_value()[source]#

Parameters:

scaled_value – The scaled value to inverse scale

scale(value)#

Scale the value of the variable for improved optimization performance.

Parameters:

value – The value to scale

update_value(new_value)[source]#

Update the value of the aspheric coefficient.

Parameters:

new_value (float) – The new value of the aspheric coefficient.
