Illumination & Stray Light

Illumination & Stray Light Learning Plan
Using the non-sequential mode of Zemax OpticStudio, you'll discover how to design illumination systems and run stray light analyses.

Illumination & Stray Light Learning Plan

This learning plan consists of 7 courses [+2 additional courses for the getting started course and the final exam], covering 4 days worth of material. The purchase of this learning plan gives you access to the online training platform for 30 calendar days.

It is the recommended training for non-sequential mode and assumes a background in optics but not necessarily with Zemax OpticStudio.

Training objectives:

  • Model and analyze the performance of an illumination system in OpticStudio 
  • Build merit functions to optimize system performance and tolerance it
  • Build a complex object
  • Run a Stray Light Analysis

Included Courses:
