Abstract: Optical design systems perturb an optical design candidate to analyze the as-built performance of the optical design candidate. The optical design candidate can be perturbed by changing the values associated with tolerances and compensators. In an exemplary embodiment, the perturbations of the optical design candidate can include double Zernikes that allow the performance degradation of a perturbed optical design candidate to be calculated with a matrix multiplication using paraxial quantities rather than by iteration involving additional tracing of large set of rays.
