Gradium™ Profile

Plots the axial index profile of a Gradium surface.

ProfileThe name of the profile. See the chapter on the GRADIUM surface for details.

SurfaceThe surface number to plot.

WavelengthThe wavelength number to use for the calculation.

DiscussionIf the surface is selected to "None", then the reference wavelength for the profile glass family is used, no matter what wavelength is selected. If a Gradium surface is selected, then any defined wavelength, or the reference wavelength may be selected. Also, if a surface number is selected, then the starting and ending points for the glass blank will be indicated using an "X" on the plot. The starting and ending positions include consideration of the sag of the surface at the defined clear semi-diameter or semi-diameter.
