30. The polychromatic RMS is a parameter provided by ZEMAX to quantify the extension of the polychromatic point-spread function. In short, it is the RMS of the positions of the impacts on the image plane of a bundle of rays with different wavelengths covering the pupil of the system. For a more detailed description of the calculation procedure, see ZEMAX Manual (zemax.com).
