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.

Modeling a Lidar in OpticStudio: Characterizing Range for Lidar Systems

Modeling a Lidar in OpticStudio: Characterizing Range for Lidar Systems. For lidar systems, a key specification is the range at which the lidar can detect a positive return signal. This characteristic is determined by several factors, such as the energy contained in the light pulse sent by the lidar, the response of the detector used in the system, the transmission of the optics used, and more. In this webinar, we will explore approaches in system setup using OpticStudio that can enable users to better understand the range of their lidars, allowing for quick system validation in ideal working conditions as well as non-ideal edge cases.

HUD Webinar Workflow Example
November 10, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

As Heads Up Displays (HUDs) become more prevalent in the automotive industry, designers and engineers are taking more of an interest in simulating and integrating these systems with autonomous driving. These complex systems must perform in a wide range of conditions and in the past the workflow associated with such systems was complex involving multiple departments and various software platforms. This workflow explores the advantages of integrating optical tools together with other physics solvers in an automated process. The results are a streamlined workflow that provides more realistic simulation, better analytics and reduces error.

Optotune Liquid Lenses Added to Zemax Stock Components
November 17, 2022
6:00 am & 11:00 am PDT
Webinar
Register Today!

In the past 10 years, liquid lenses have evolved to become a well-established solution for fast and reliable focusing. In this webinar we will discuss common liquid lens architectures, evaluate their performance and show applications in the fields of imaging, laser processing, ophthalmic devices and AR/VR. We will explain how to best integrate the lenses in Zemax optical designs including how to model typical lens aberrations. Mark Ventura: Mark is electrical engineer and has co-founded Optotune in 2008. As VP Sales & Marketing he has developed the market for liquid lenses with a focus on machine vision. Michael Büeler: Michael holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and Optics and is responsible for optical design at Optotune. Employing Optotune’s liquid lenses has designed several focusing, zoom and illumination systems for mobile phone cameras, factory automation and med-tech applications.

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