Summary

ZEMAX has added several new features that aid in optimizing pure non-sequential systems.
• Pixel interpolation distributes ray energy among adjacent pixels to remove discontinuities in the merit function
• The NSDD operand can also compute the standard deviation and mean of all non-zero pixel data, intensity and irradiance centroid coordinates, and RMS distributions of pixel data from the centroid.

Excellent! Hoping for more complex examples optimized for ZEMAX!
