Summary and References
This article has shown how to create and analyze a simple non-sequential system in ZEMAX. In summary:
- There are major differences between the sequential and non-sequential ZEMAX that users need to aware of before attempting to design a non-sequential system
- Layout rays do not affect detector trace results
- To account for Fresnel losses and bulk absorption, the polarization option should be used when tracing analysis rays to the detector

Good article..thanks!
Would you be able to suggest an article which deals with lens coating?
{Editor's Note: Sure, look at the "Polarization and Thin-Film Coatings" category.}

Excellent article!
There is an error on page 8. If reference to globe axis, the lens position should be at 810, not 860.
{Editor's Note: Thank you for pointing this out. The text is now correct.}
