Open a third detector viewer to view detector #7 and re-trace the detector. Remember to use the polarization option and to clear the detectors before tracing the detector, in the Detector Control window.

The trace time on a Dell Precision 370 machine running Windows XP Pro, 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 and 1GB of memory is about 2 minutes.

The detector viewer shows that the light pipe has effectively removed the hot spots making the irradiance distribution almost uniform.

The zipped file of the complete system is included with this article as reference.

The NSC Shaded Model can include the detector trace results. For the layout below, multiple-configuration capability of ZEMAX was used to display the system with and without the detector results in the same layout (we will not go into details on how to do this). Users are encouraged to learn about the full non-sequential capacities of ZEMAX by referencing the user manual, reading other knowledge base articles and studying sample files that comes with ZEMAX.
