Modeling Flash Lidar in OpticStudio, Part 1: Lidar Component Setup in Sequential Mode
August 4, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register today!

In the consumer electronics space, engineers leverage lidar for several functions, such as facial recognition and 3D mapping. While vastly different embodiments of lidar systems exist, a flash lidar solution generates an array of detectable points across a target scene using solid-state optical elements. This technology enables compact packaging, and it has allowed detailed spatial data acquisition to be more commonplace in consumer products, like smart phones and tablets. In part one of this webinar series, we will explore how to use OpticStudio’s Sequential Mode to setup and characterize the transmitting and receiving modules of a flash lidar system.

August & September Events/Webinars 

Ansys 2022 R2: What’s New in Zemax OpticStudio and OpticsBuilder
August 11, 2022
8:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

Join our upcoming webinar as we introduce two new products, Ansys Zemax OpticStudio and Ansys Zemax OpticsBuilder, to design and simulate an end-to-end optical system. We'll also show the enterprise edition that includes STAR (Structural, Thermal, Analysis, and Results) technology to integrate the impacts of structural and thermal loads on optical designs based on finite element analysis (FEA) data sets.

Modeling Flash Lidar in OpticStudio, Part 2: Lidar Simulation in Non-Sequential Mode
August 18, 2022

Webinar

In the consumer electronics space, engineers leverage lidar for several functions, such as facial recognition and 3D mapping. While vastly different embodiments of lidar systems exist, a flash lidar solution generates an array of detectable points across a target scene using solid-state optical elements. This technology enables compact packaging, and it has allowed detailed spatial data acquisition to be more commonplace in consumer products, like smart phones and tablets. In part two of this webinar series, we will cover the conversion of our sequential starting points from part one and incorporate additional detail into the non-sequential model. We also apply the ZOS-API to generate time-of-flight results with our flash lidar system.

Designing Cell phone Camera Lenses with an Interoperability Workflow – Part 1
September 13, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

The cell phone market has experienced rapid growth over the past two decades. Cell phones improving significantly on a yearly basis, part of that evolution are also the camera lenses of the cell phones. With image quality reaching higher levels than ever, it also has become more important to have a more efficient and stable workflow to design such camera lenses. With the interoperability of the Ansys Zemax products, this design workflow can be applied in a highly efficient and dynamic way. In this first part of the Designing Cell phone Camera Lenses with an Interoperability workflow webinar series, Sandrine Auriol and Flurin Herren are presenting how to design the optical system of a Cell phone Camera lens from an Apple Inc. patent with Zemax OpticStudio using a Q-type Aphere surface approach and the Optomechanical Packaging with Zemax OpticsBuilder in Creo Parametric including the validation of the optical performance.

Designing Cell phone Camera Lenses with an Interoperability Workflow – Part 2
September 22, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

Cellphone camera designs are required to meet evermore stringent performance specifications to compete in the field. Laboratory testing typically occurs late in the manufacturing phase where any previous errors in estimates that are found will cause significant schedule delays and cost increases. Simulation can enable customers to find these errors earlier in the process and prevent costly mistakes. In this second part of the Designing Cell phone Camera Lenses with an Interoperability workflow webinar series, Esteban Carbajal will present a streamlined workflow that includes Ansys Mechanical, and the STAR technology featured in Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Enterprise to easily examine the impact on optical performance at several points in a broad temperature range.

Mechanics of an Ansys Zemax Workflow: OpticStudio – OpticsBuilder – Speos
September 29, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

Join Flurin Herren, Optomechanical Engineer of Ansys Zemax, on a webinar which takes the user through the workflow of an optomechanical system from design all the way to stray light analysis and optical performance validation. With a focus on the software mechanics and the conversion between Ansys Zemax software. Starting off in Zemax OpticStudio with the Design, going into Creo Parametric 7 and Zemax OpticsBuilder which covers the optomechanical validation and finally using the Ansys Speos add-in of Creo Parametric 7 to perform Stray Light analysis.

We hope to see you at one of these programs this month and be sure to visit our Upcoming Events Page for new updates.
