In celebration of the International Day of Photonics, we here at Zemax would like to take a moment and recognize the amazing things our users are doing within our industry. From autonomous vehicles, to space travel; AR/VR headsets to developing some of the largest freeforms ever known to man, Zemax users are changing the world for the better!

In celebration of our groundbreaking users, we want to highlight some of our top webinars from this year that showcase this work. We hope you enjoy these stories and help us to celebrate the International Day of Photonics!

From Earth to Pluto and Beyond
Dr. Michael Davis, Staff Scientist at Southwest Research Institute

Get ready to blast-off into space with OpticStudio! Join Dr. Michael Davis, Staff Scientist at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), and learn about SwRI’s design and development of ultraviolet spectrographs for spaceflight. See how OpticStudio has been a key tool in the design, tolerancing, thermal analysis, and stray/scattered light analysis, as well as used to refine and improve performance. Dr. Davis will present flight results, along with expectations of future results.
