Further exploration
Feel free to continue to explore Physical Optics Propagation in ZEMAX by opening the other sample files available in the Physical Optics folder. Experiment with other beam definitions available in the "Beam Definition" and "Fiber Data" tabs of the POP window settings in these files.
The ZEMAX manual and Help system are excellent sources of information that you can use while you continue to explore the capabilities of ZEMAX. Both can be accessed from the Help menu in the main menu.
To continue your guided tour of ZEMAX, you are encouraged to take a look at the following Knowledge Base article:

Good article. However, I am still not as comforable with this feature as I am with the other analysis capabilities of Zemax. It would be helpful if you added more examples such as how to model an astigmatic beam (having different source locations in each plane)using the physical optics propogator.

Good article. Thank you. I also agree with the first comment, a "through focus" feature of the POP would help with beams with astigmatism.
