    Two new computer programs, ZEST and ZEALOT, predict lens performance. ZEST analyzes sensitivity to design changes, while ZEALOT forecasts manufacturing variations for better lens specification and testing.

    Area of Science:

    • Optical engineering
    • Computational optics

    Background:

    • Lens design and manufacturing require precise control over constructional parameters.
    • Predicting the impact of variations on lens performance is crucial for quality assurance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce two novel computer programs, ZEST and ZEALOT, for lens performance analysis.
    • Provide a more generalized framework for lens specification, tolerancing, and testing.

    Main Methods:

    • ZEST: Wavefront analysis to predict lens performance sensitivity to parameter perturbations.
    • ZEALOT: Modulation transfer function (MTF) based statistical analysis for manufactured lens performance distributions.

    Main Results:

    • ZEST quantifies the impact of individual parameter deviations on optical performance.
