Popis: Program adjustments to increase the accuracy of the diffraction-based encircled energy analysis algorithms of the optical design computer programs ACCOS-V and SYNOPSYS are proposed. It is noted that the erroneous algorithms are based on the incorrect assumption that all the energy in a diffraction point spread function is contained within a circle of finite radius. Using these adjustments, more accurate encircled energy results are obtained for circles of radii less than or equal to the 100 percent boundary.
