Hi,
I have a new problem with a laser beam composed with photons. When I'm trying to
pass my ray through the doublet, photons are stopped at the interface of the
lenses. On the other hand, separately, the two lenses lets pass and diffracts
the rays as it is necessary. Is it a bug? How can I solve my problem?
Thank you
Sylvain

A small example scene demonstrating the problem would be helpful.

Are the lense set as target with refraction on? I assume yes.
What is your max_trace_level? Try setting it to a larger value.
A doublet mean that you have 4 surfaces. If your beam have already crossed 1
surface, or been reflected, you just reached the default value of 5, it just
can't go further.
Count each transparent object you encounter, multiply by 2. Add any reflective
surfaces encountered. Add 1 for the final target surface.
Set max_trace_level to that value, or more.
