This four-day course covers the basics and some advanced concepts related to the modeling, analyzing, and tolerancing of photonics-related systems using CODE V. It assumes a familiarity with basic photonics and optics concepts and terminology.

Monday Basic concepts and terminology Photonics design study: Ball lens Tuesday Performance Analysis Optimization of a photonics system Wednesday Tolerancing a photonics system Polarization effects in photonics systems Thursday Photonics design examples Miscellaneous topics

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.

Who Should Attend?

Any engineer or designer who wants to learn to use CODE V to design or evaluate photonics-related optical systems. This course will be taught using CODE V version 9.80, which features CODE V's new user interface introduced in September 2001. It covers both introductory as well as more advanced concepts.
