The Detector Color object provides a tool to visualize the True Color image of an optical system. This object stores both Tristimulus data and power data, and allows both the irradiance (Position Space) and radiant intensity (Angle Space) distributions to be shown. Quantitative results from the detector may be extracted into the merit function using the NSDE operand. These results can be used both for system evaluation and optimization. A simple color optimization example is given.
