Hi Nishtha,

Thanks for posting here in the forum.

Pysical Optics Propagation (POP) allows you to save multiple beam files in .ZBF format. In the Display Tab, you can check the options Save Output Beam To and Save Beam At All Surfaces and the individual surface beam files will be stored in the POP folder at \Zemax\POP\BEAMFILES\. The files will be named according to the provided file name, with a suffix indicating the surface number.

You can then use Beam File Viewer to view the previously stored ZBF files.

 If you need to store the beam files in image formats (e.g, JPEG files), you need to use ZPL macros or ZOS-API to automate the tasks.
