Overview

We’ll guide you through setting up a single-lens system, analyzing its performance, and addressing its limitations. The session then demonstrates how adding components improves system performance, followed by optimization techniques to refine image quality and reduce aberrations. We will highlight teaching methodologies incorporating simulation tools, fostering a deeper understanding of optical system design for your students.

What Attendees Will Learn

• How to set up and analyze an optical system in the sequential mode of Ansys Zemax OpticStudio® software
• Approaches for teaching students to evaluate system performance using analysis tools
• Strategies for introducing optimization concepts, including variable settings and the merit function editor, to improve design outcomes

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is ideal for university undergraduate educators teaching courses in optical design, geometrical optics, opto-mechanical, or related fields. Enhance your curriculum with practical examples and simulation-driven insights to support student learning.
