Optical System Design Learning Plan

The Optical System Design course series provides all necessary knowledge to get you up and running with OpticStudio sequential mode. You will learn how to model, analyse, optimize and tolerance various optical systems, while getting used with the different tools and features included in OpticStudio

Optical System Design Learning Plan

This learning plan consists of 10 courses [+2 additional courses for the getting started course and the final exam], covering 5 days worth of material. The purchase of this learning plan gives you access to the online training platform for 30 calendar days.

It is our most popular training and assumes a background in optics but not necessarily with Zemax OpticStudio.

Training objectives:

  • Model and analyze the performance of simple sequential systems in OpticStudio
  • Build merit functions to optimize system performance
  • Identify system sensitivities and predict manufacturing and assembly yields
