Prerequisites: Attendees should be familiar with both Zemax and optical design theory. Attending Optical System Design Using Zemax is ideal preparation for the Zemax skills needed. Some prior experience of practical lens design is also required to benefit from all the material covered. 

Topics include:

Global and local optimization
Tolerancing and as-built optical performance
Aspheric design techniques
Designing with plastic materials
Tolerancing aspheric surfaces
Optimizing for tolerance performance
Thermal analysis
Polarization and thin film coatings

Fraunhofer and Huygens diffraction
Scripted tolerancing
Coherent and partially coherent imaging
Birefringence
Ghost images
Gaussian beam propagation
Physical optics
Spatial filtering
