The success of any optical product launch relies on the readiness of the engineering team. Demanding product design timelines are adding pressures on engineers to keep their skills current, so that design decisions can be made quickly.

To help our customers, we offer training in a classroom setting with a live instructor and face-to-face discussion to accelerate learning. We also offer customized, on-site training for a flat fee. To inquire about a private training session, contact us.

To help your team design better products more efficiently, explore the four OpticStudio courses below, and lock in dates now for 2020. 

Optical System Design

This five-day course provides a solid introduction to the OpticStudio sequential design environment. Attendees will acquire the skills to design, optimize, and tolerance imaging systems through hands-on exercises.

Learn how to:

• Model and analyze the performance of simple sequential systems in OpticStudio
• Build merit functions to optimize system performance
• Identify system sensitivities and predict manufacturing and assembly yields

Illumination & Stray Light

This four-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the OpticStudio non-sequential design environment, and is intended for those working on illumination systems or evaluating stray light in imaging systems. Attendees will acquire the skills to design, optimize, and tolerance systems through hands-on exercises.

Learn how to:

• Model, analyze, optimize, and tolerance illumination, imaging, and collimation systems in non-sequential mode
• Build mixed sequential and non-sequential systems, like prisms, fibers, or other systems that generate total internal reflection (TIR)
• Conduct stray light analysis of an imaging system

Advanced Optical System Design

This five-day course teaches advanced topics in optical system design using sequential mode in OpticStudio. Attendees will learn the key features and functions to take an imaging or afocal design from initial specification to manufacture and testing.

Learn how to:

• Use freeform and aspheric surfaces
• Perform advanced tolerancing techniques
• Use physical optics propagation, Gaussian beams, and geometric rays to simulate lasers and optical fibers, and explain when to use each tool
