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 9.81, 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 9.81, 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.
