Issues Resolved

The following customer-reported bugs have been fixed in this release.

• In Beam Synthesis Propagation (BSP), the Gaussian beam fitting (GFT command) sometimes gave incorrect results for beam radii (X-Rad, Y-Rad) and coordinates of the Gaussian peak (X-Shift, Y-Shift).
• Ray trace errors occurred in lens systems with an interferogram assigned to the exit pupil, when the image space index of refraction was not 1.0.
• Plots generated by the Gaussian Beam Trace (BEA) option displayed incorrectly when A4 paper size was specified (PPS A4 command).
• Zoomed UD1 and UD3 surface coefficients were handled incorrectly when the lens system was dezoomed.
• CODE V crashed when more than 990 surfaces were inserted into a lens system.
• CODE V sometimes crashed when optimizing systems containing Zernike polynomial interferogram files.
• In systems with non-sequential ranges, the OPD calculated from a ray trace was not stored as a database item.
• Optical path difference (OPD) magnitudes were incorrectly calculated when surface or wavefront deformation data (SUR INT, WFR INT) was applied to a refractive interface in a non-sequential surface range.
• The CODE V documentation has been enhanced to explain more completely how the coordinate systems and sign conventions are used when applying deformation data (INT files) to surfaces. This material will appear in the CODE V Reference Manual accompanying the 10.3 release, and is currently contained in the Supplementary Notes for 10.2 SR3. View the Supplementary Notes.

Glass Catalog Updates

The following glass catalog updates have been implemented in this release.

CDGM glass catalog

• 13 new glasses: HK2, HLAK1, ZBAF17, ZBAF51, HZF72, HZLAF1, HZLAF2, HZPK2, DK59, DLAF53, DZK79, DZLAF85L, and HTF3L.
• Updated dispersion coefficients for nine glasses to improve index modeling in the near IR: ZF7LHT, HZF62, HZLaF68, HLAF2, HLaF10L, HLaF50A, HLaF52, HLaF53 and HLaF54. Please note that with this change, you may see some differences in predicted performance compared to earlier versions of CODE V for lenses using these materials, especially in the IR.
• Updated transmission data for an existing glass: HLaF3A.

Hikari glass catalog

• 128 new glasses, including 113 standard glasses and 15 low-melting-point glasses.

Hoya glass catalog

• Three new glasses: MTAFD307, TAFD55, and FCD100.

  Note that the optical properties of FCD100 (437.951) are different from those of an earlier version of this glass (435.950), which Hoya introduced in 1992 and later discontinued. The dispersion coefficients for FCD100 in CODE V 10.2 SR3 are those for the newly introduced glass. If you are working with legacy designs that use the earlier variant of this Hoya glass, the optical performance will be affected. A sequence to load the original FCD100 dispersion coefficients as a private catalog material is available from ORA.

• Updated transmission data for FDS90.

Ohara glass catalog

• Five new glasses: LLAH87, LBBH1, SFPM2, SLAH55V, and SLAH65V
• Updated pricing information for 153 glasses.
• Updated dispersion coefficients for i-line glass, PBL1Y, per Ohara's most recent data. Please note that with this change, you may see some differences in predicted performance compared to earlier versions of CODE V for lenses using this materials. The index difference at 365 nm (i-line) is 0.00011 due to this change.

Schott glass catalog

• Schott has discontinued or is phasing out production of NSF64, NPSK53, KZFSN5, KZFS12, PPK53, and NLAF36 and does not recommend these glasses for new design.
• Six new glasses from the June 2010 Schott catalog: PLAK35, PLASF50, PLASF51, PSF68, PSK58A, and PSK60.
