These quantities will control the (X, Y, Z) separation between two surfaces that are not numerically adjacent. If the surfaces are adjacent, then the usual edge-thickness controls can easily prevent feathered edges or too small an airspace, but if the surfaces are not adjacent, those controls do not work. They are also useful if the overlap is in the Y-direction, where the edge controls do not work.
这些量将控制(X, Y, Z)两个非数值邻接面之间的分离。如果表面是相邻的,那么通常的边缘厚度控制可以很容易地防止羽状边缘或太小的空间,但是如果表面不是相邻的,这些控制就不起作用。如果重叠在y方向上,也很有用,因为边缘控制不起作用。
For example, in order to athermalize a lens, one might add a dummy surface between surfaces 4 and 5, assign different expansion coefficients to surfaces 4 and (the inserted) 5, and vary those and other lens parameters. That will tell you where surface 5 should go so you can attach two sleeves to compensate for thermal changes, using the
thermal shadowing feature. But you do not want surfaces 4 and 6 to collide, and since they are no longer adjacent numerically,
AEC and ECP/N will not work.
例如,为了对透镜进行无热化,可以在透镜4和5之间添加一个虚拟表面,为透镜4和(插入的)5分配不同的膨胀系数,并改变它们和其他透镜参数。这将告诉您表面5应该去哪里,以便使用热遮蔽特性连接两个套筒来补偿热变化。但是你不希望表面4和6发生重叠,而且由于它们不再是数值上的相邻,AEC和ECP/N将不能工作。
You could then enter, in the AANT file,
你可以在AANT文件中输入,
M 3 1 A LSZ 4 6
This will control the Z-component of the spacing between surfaces 4 and 6, taken at the current CAO apertures on both surfaces, and target the result to 3 lens units. The program converts this request into the following, in this case:
这将控制表面4和6之间的间隔的z分量,在这两个表面的当前CAO光阑上,并将结果对准3个镜头单元。程序将此设置转换为以下内容:
M 3 1
A ZG 6
S ZG 4
A SCAO 6
S SCAO 4
The calculation picks up the global Z-coordinates of the surfaces in this example, but If the system is folded so the local Z-axis is parallel to the Y-axis of surface 1, then one should use the global Y instead. That is the purpose of the LSY option, and similarly for LSX.
计算得到了这个例子中表面的全局z坐标,但是如果系统折叠了,所以局部z轴与表面1的Y轴平行,那么我们应该使用全局Y。这就是LSY选项的目的,LSX也是如此。
