    FIGURE 1. A cell-phone lens was optimized in CODE V without any control of tolerance sensitivity (a); a similar cell-phone lens was globally optimized in CODE V including the tolerance-sensitivity error function, resulting in a 24% improvement in RMS wavefront error (b). The cumulative probability charts show the probability of achieving the indicated RMS wavefront error performance for systems built within a set of specified tolerances using designated compensators. As the curves move farther to the left, better as-built performance is achieved.
