Introduction to CODE V® for
Image Forming Systems

A Five-Day Short Course for Technical Professionals
September 28-October 2, 2009


This course covers the basics on modeling, analyzing, optimizing, and tolerancing image forming optical systems using CODE V, including hands-on workshops. It assumes familiarity with optics concepts and terminology. This course will be taught using CODE V version 10.0, which features CODE V's new user interface. Therefore, both new and part-time users can benefit from this course.

By the end of the week, you will be able to do the following:

  • Model an optical system given its design parameters
  • Evaluate the system to determine its quality
  • Optimize the system to improve its quality
  • Evaluate the manufacturability of the final design
Monday
  • Background for running CODE V
  • Getting started: A design study
Tuesday
  • Performance evaluation
Wednesday
  • Optimization of lens performance
  • Reflective optical systems
Thursday
  • Non-spherical surfaces
  • Afocal systems
  • Zoom and multi-configuration systems
Friday
  • Tolerancing an optical system
  • Command mode and macros

 

Classes are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., except on the last day, when class ends at 4:30 p.m. Hands-on workshops are held throughout the day. One computer will be provided for each attendee. Students wishing to work independently are welcome to bring their own laptop, and will receive a $300 discount on their registration fee.

Who Should Attend?

Any engineer or designer who wants to learn to use CODE V to design or evaluate image forming optical systems. This course will be taught using CODE V version 9.82, which features a graphical user interface and spreadsheet access to data. Therefore, in addition to new users, part-time users may also benefit from attending this course.
