Alicia, The answer is already in the Plot3D line: InterferenceFunction/.interference results in a compiled function, which you can use like any numerical function. You can give it a name: ifunc == Evaluate[(InterferenceFunction /. interference)] CompiledFunction[-intensity data-]" and simply give it a numerical argument ifunc[0, 0] 0.266372 or generate a list of data ifdat == Table[{x, ifunc[x, 0]}, {x, -16, 10, 0.1}]; which you can plot ListLinePlot[ifdat] Hope this helps, maarten -----Original Message----- From: Alicia Cavan [mailto:alicia.cavan at pg.canterbury.ac.nz] Sent: Monday, 17 May, 2010 13:12 To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg109788] [mg109785] Re: Interference data in optica The method I am using is straight out of the Help browser for optica (graphical tour section), I am using a more complicated interferometer set up, but I have just shown the basic Michelson one from the help section, as I assume the method for getting more information about the interference would be the same: system ==== {Move[GaussianBeam[1.5,.01,FullForm->True],-50], PlanoConcaveLens[-30,20,2,"L1",CurvatureDirection->Back], Move[PlanoConvexLens[160,30,6.5,"L2"],130], Move[BeamSplitter[{70,30},50,10],175,-45], Move[Mirror[50,10],250], Move[Mirror[50,10],{175,50},90.01], Move[BeamSplitter[{70,30},50,10,""],175,-45,GraphicDesign->Off], Move[Screen[50],{175,-50},90]}; AnalyzeSystem[system]; interference ==== FindInterference[system]; Plot3D[Evaluate[(InterferenceFunction/.interference)][x,y],{x,-13.5,6.7} ,{y,-10.,10.},PlotPoints->100,Mesh->False] Thanks!

Probably the compiled function has a bad argument or syntax Alicia Cavan a ==E9crit : > Hello, > > I am using the FindInterference function in Optica (version 3) and I am > able to get a nice plot of the interference function, but when I try and > obtain any data from this function- so I can get accurate values for the > intensities and fringe spacings (rather than just reading it off a plot) > I can't do this.
