Abstract

We report the comparison between two methods to evaluate optical systems. The flux-tracing method is an extension of the classical ray-tracing methods with additional energetic features. The direct integration method involves the calculation of the integral appearing in the diffraction theory of aberrations. We give a brief outline of the two methods and compare the results on a standard optical system. This will help to put in common the two methods to try to formulate new algorithms for the design of optical systems.
