Envision Europe 2021: 28-29 September 2021 GMT - Register Now!

• Half-day conference sessions that allow the time to attend sessions AND uphold work obligations

• Sessions that highlight the growing role of micro-optics, diffractive elements, and metasurfaces in optical system design, recent innovations in freeform optics for automotive and consumer electronic applications, and the increasing drive towards integrating details of the manufacturing and fabrication process into the system design.

Webinars:

Simulating Holograms in OpticStudio
September 4, 2021
6:00am & 11:00am PDT
English

In this presentation, application of holographic optical components and its advantage, compared to traditional free-space optics, are first introduced. Next, the available hologram models in OpticStudio are discussed along with tricks how to set them up efficiently. The diffraction efficiency of hologram is then considered using the Kogelnik’s coupled wave theory. Finally, some examples of holographic systems are demonstrated.

Industry Insights: Photonics Finland Director, Juha Purmonen & Zemax CTO, Sanjay Gangadhara
September 23, 2021
6:00am & 11:00am PDT
English

Join Zemax CTO, Sanjay Gangadhara and Photonics Finland Executive Director, Juha Purmonen, as they discuss exciting innovations in the field of 3D Printed Optics. Juha will highlight how Photonics Finland members are developing groundbreaking new technologies with the help of optical design tools. Sanjay and Juha will discuss current trends in the application of 3D Printed Optics and the growing role these components are playing in manufacturing, as they provide innovative ways of getting optics prototypes rapidly available: speed, cost-efficiency and flexibility are the key drivers behind the process. Sanjay and Juha will also look towards future opportunities for 3D Printed Optics in the next generation of optics and photonics products. There is no better time to look for continued innovation – you don’t want to miss this conversation!

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