Reply To: Rotation of cylindrical lens affects other surfaces

Hi Subscriber,

I am a little bit confused here, with the Tilt/Decenter elements tool I would expect the element to be tilted and not the subsequent surfaces. It would be good to go through this Knowledge base article to make sure you are using the tool properly in order to achieve your design goals: How to tilt and decenter a sequential optical component. Additionaly, I have difficulties on noticing the differences between the LDE of your first case with the LDE on your second case.

Another reason that I can think of why you dont see a collimated beam is the fact the your EPD is smaller than the lens diameter. 

Hope that was helpful, let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,

Niki
