Archive Policy

When replacing functionality:

  1. Move the old file to the appropriate archive subdirectory
  2. Add a header comment noting the archive date and replacement
  3. Update this README with the change

Archived Items

extractors/zernike_legacy/ (2024-12-28)

Replaced by: extract_zernike_opd.py (ZernikeOPDExtractor)

Reason: The OPD method provides more accurate wavefront error calculations by:

  • Using optical path difference (OPD) directly instead of surface displacement
  • Proper handling of relative subcase comparisons
  • Better numerical stability for high-order Zernike modes

Archived files:

File Original Class Description
extract_zernike.py ZernikeExtractor Original displacement-based Zernike
extract_zernike_surface.py ZernikeSurfaceExtractor Surface-normal projection variant
extract_zernike_figure.py ZernikeFigureExtractor Figure error variant

To restore: Copy files back to optimization_engine/extractors/ and update __init__.py
