Once you&#8217;ve got the detector view after the ray tracing, you can go to the settings for the detector view window to change how the data is shown, including things like incoherent irradiance, coherent irradiance, radiant intensity, coherent phase and so on. I&#8217;m more interested in how the light energy is distributed over the detector plane and also the exact geometry(outline) of the output beam. I&#8217;m trying to simulate a design where I can get a rectangular or square beam geometry (beam outline) on the detector, with the energy distributed evenly across the whole rectangular or square beam profile. I was just wondering which type of show data would tell me about how the energy is distributed on the detector. I&#8217;ve attached two screenshots of my design, where I switch from incoherent irradiance to radiant intensity. By the way, I alread&nbsp; checked the zemax help.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;br&gt;Arezoo&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/11-11-2024-1731338118-Unbenannt.PNG\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-393611","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello colleagues, I have a question about detector view in Zemax.
