The term "3d-pop" is somehow nonsens for me, because the impression you are discussing about depends on:
1) There is subject-seperation (depending on: a) focal length, b) aperature, c) dicstance to the focal plane - adjusted by the focusring in MF or when using AF)
2) There is the contrast, the lens delivers (depending on the quality of the coatings and to some degrees to the optical construction)
3) Some lenses of the same focal length (and adjusted aperature at the same focusing distance) have different short or long areas from sharp to unsharp (or blurred).
The combination of this many factors lead to this 3d-impressions, but some factors (like contrast) can be manipulated by software and some people feel a lens has strong 3d-pop if the area of sharpness falls of very fast, others feel a lens has a lot of 3d-pop if the area of sharpness degrades about a longer distance to see the placement in 3d-space. There is no scientific definition to this term, do you think it is helpful to use the term in discussions here?
