New trainingLevel: Basic/Advanced
Audience:
Technicians, engineers, PhDs, postdocs
Prerequisites:
General optics knowledge (geometrical optics, optical aberrations, wavefront). General knowledge of the different types of off-the-shelf components (simple spherical lenses, aspheric lenses, doublets, mirrors, beamsplitters…)

Price: 1820 € HT -
Duration: 4 days - 28 h
Objectives
- Be able to design an optical system using off-the-shelf lenses (e.g. collimation system, focalization system, projection system)
- Be able to design an optical system using mirrors (e.g. laser beam expanders, simple telescopes)
- Be able to design an optical system with multiple beams using beamsplitters (e.g. multi beam systems, emission/reception systems)
- Be able to design an illumination system (e.g. systems with diffusers, condensers)
Addressed topics
Optics
- Optical aberrations, optical aberrations associated with off-the-shelf components, design levers available on off-the-shelf components.
