    Zemax files
    10 arcminute FOV design with aberration negligible up to 850 μm, simulating the complete 30m telescope including quadripod and dumy surfaces to mark the reciever cabin room constraints:
         ZMX and SES files obtained just after the Hammer optimization, elevation = 60 degree.
         ZMX and SES files of the same optics but for 6 configurations in elevation (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 90 degrees).
    6 arcmin FOV design proposed by the Neel group:
         ZMX file.
