You are absolutely right.

*+7xL -cS4B//IK8 1, Modelling optical system in codev and getting system response functions, using these functions in matlab to build input/output spectrum relationship( such as: if input spectrum distribution is known, matlab does convolution to predict the output,... );
T%b^|="@ By the way, right now 9.7/9.8 provides diffraction imaging function, probably it can perform the same.

2, Further more, OE detector and electronics being modeled in matlab to simulate whole system, like saturation, dynamic, SNR, frequency response, even thermal & mechanical variation.
