Zemax Training
2013 Course Schedules Posted!
Our short courses are the best way to learn about optical design using Zemax. Our classes help you to efficiently and accurately model, analyze, optimize and tolerance virtually any optical system.
Courses are held from introductory to advanced level, and cover all aspects of sequential lens design, illumination, stray light, programming Zemax and more.
In the US, all of our classes are held near Orlando, Florida as well as 
Seattle, Washington. Courses are also taught worldwide. See all Locations.
We offer the following courses:
|
Optical System Design Using Zemax (5 days) provides a thorough introduction to the Zemax optical system design environment. By the end of this class, attendees will have acquired the skills to be productive Zemax users. No prior knowledge of Zemax is required. The course concentrates on sequential ray tracing, but a day is devoted to non-sequential ray tracing. Hands-on examples and exercises apply the material to realistic optical design problems.

 |
|
Advanced Imaging System Design Using Zemax (5 days) is intended for users who need a thorough understanding of the advanced sequential analysis and optimization features of Zemax. It covers all the major features needed for taking an imaging or afocal design from initial specification to manufacture and test.
|
|
|
|
Lighting and Illumination Design Using Zemax (3 days) covers the design of lighting and illumination systems in detail, along with stray light analysis. This course emphasizes the non-sequential features of Zemax, and is important to anyone involved in the design and manufacture of illumination systems, or who needs to control stray light in imaging or illumination systems.

|
Programming Zemax (2 days) covers ZPL macro programming, user-defined features and controlling Zemax via external programs such as MATLAB®. It is indispensable for anyone wanting to write their own code to control Zemax, or interface it to other programs.
Essential Skills for Optical Design (UK only) The aim of this "hands-on" course is to provide you with an understanding of why different lenses, such as telescope objectives, eyepieces, microscope objectives and photographic objectives take such different forms.
Private Training Courses (UK only) As Europe's leading supplier of optical design and training, we are committed to helping you build better optical systems. We offer tailored training solutions, based around your needs.
