ZEMAX 204 - Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Non-Sequential Illumination Training

Advanced Level Training - 2 days (16 hours)

About Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Non-Sequential Illumination Training by CADIT

Fundamentals of non-sequential ray tracing in Ansys Zemax OpticStudio: setting up and optimizing sources, detectors, and optical components in illumination systems, with photometry, polarization, scattering, and stray light analysis.

Perfect for Illumination and optical system designers.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this training, you will be able to:
1. Model and analyze the performance of illumination systems using non-sequential ray tracing.
2. Build and apply merit function to optimize system performance and apply tolerancing techniques for manufacturability.
3. Create complex object geometries to accurately represent real-world optical components.
4. Run a Stray Light Analysis to identify and mitigate unwanted light paths that may affect system performance.
5. Simulate advanced optical phenomena, including polarization, ray splitting, scattering, and photoluminescence.
6. Configure non-sequential settings to fine-tune simulation accuracy and efficiency.
