Overview
Optical systems power some of today’s most exciting technologies, from augmented and virtual reality to autonomous vehicles and medical imaging. Ansys Zemax OpticStudio is a leading optical design tool engineers and scientists use to design and test these systems worldwide.
In this Foundational Fridays webinar, we’ll cover the fundamentals of OpticStudio and guide you through the key steps in optical system design. Whether you’re new to optical design or just looking for a refresher, this session will give you a solid foundation in simulation principles.
You’ll learn to define lens properties and input system parameters, perform basic ray tracing, and use optimization tools to improve system performance. We’ll also briefly explore advanced features and real-world applications.
What You Will Learn
- System setup: defining lens properties and system parameters
- Ray tracing and optimization tools
- Result analysis: understanding system performance and design impact
Who should attend
This session is ideal for students in physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or related fields. It’s designed to connect what you learn in class with practical skills used in the field, giving you the tools and confidence to start exploring optical design.
