Introduction to CODE V for Image Forming Systems
A Five-Day Short Course for Technical Professionals
September 16-20, 2013

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 10.5.

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
  •  

Agenda

Monday
  • Getting started: A design study
Tuesday
