Optical System Design with Zemax OpticStudio 1100-OSDZ
The lecture is aimed primarily towards MSc level students specializing in optics. The course consists of 10 computer classes. The course introduces students to the Zemax OpticStudio program, basic optical system design skills, and knowledge of good design principles. Participants will learn to analyse the quality of optical systems, compensate its aberrations, optimize it, and simulate real systems performance.
Program:
1. Introduction to OpticStudio
2. First lens
3. Power splitting
4. Merit function and design rules
5. Principles of optimization: local and global optimization
6. Glass choice and achromatic systems
7. Simple imaging systems
8. Image simulation
9. Basic off-axis systems
10. Tolerancing
Main fields of studies for MISMaP
Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
After completing the course student knows basics of optical system design, aberration analysis, material choice and tolerancing. Students gain the practical skill of designing simple optical systems and of system quality analysis using the Zemax OptiStudio program.
