Polarization
Polarization of a donat mode in the focal region:
1. In focal plane 2. In defocussed plane
Ref: F. Wyrowski
31
Model:
1. definition of a starting polarization
2. every ray carries a Jones vector of polarization, therefore a spatial variation of polarization
is obtained.
3. at any interface, the field is decomposed into s- and p-component in the local system
4. changes of the polarization component due to Fresnel formulas or coatings:
- amplitude, diattenuation
- phase, retardance
Spatial variations of the polarization phase accross the pupil are aberrations,
the interference is influenced and Psf, MTF, Strehl,... are changed

Selection of coating/polarization analysis
Tapering of coatings is possible:
radial polynomial of cosine-shaped
spatial thickness variation
Import of professional coating software
data is possible
Given coatings can be incorporated into the
optimization to a certain flexibility
- thickness scaling
- offset of refractive index
- offset of extinction coefficient

Coatings in Zemax
Detailed polarization analyses are possible at the individual surfaces by using the coating
menue options
