CO3Optical Design with CodeV®
Level: Advanced
Audience:
Engineers who need to design imaging optical systems with the CodeV software
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge in geometrical optics (centered systems in paraxial optics, notions of entrance and exit pupils...) and basic notions on the aberrations of real optical systems
Language of the training: French
Maximum capacity: 10
Price: 2150 € HT -
Duration: 5 days - 35 h
Objectives
- Be able to to use the practical bases of CodeV software
- Analyze optical systems performances
- Optimize optical system using basic methods
- Handle standard imaging optical systems
Addressed topics
Optical system analysis
Optimization of optical systems with simple or more complex constrains
Introduction to tolerancing
Rough set out of more advanced CodeV features
The program
Basics and first steps
- Introductory lecture on object/image conjugation, entrance and exit pupils, aberrations, diffraction, ...
- CodeV hands-on workshop with a simple example (Cooke triplet)
Optical systems
- Study of aberrations and optical system quality criteria on different examples
- Setting of mirrors, aspheric surfaces, obscurations, tilts and decenters, multiconfigurations...
More advanced elements and training
- Optimization: basics, methods, and practical tutorial (example of eyepiece design with complex constrains)
- Training tutorial (on a catadioptric system)
- Introduction to tolerancing and some other advanced CodeV options
- Last tutorial subject at the trainee's choice
Methodology and assessment
Mixed lectures and tutorials in a computer facility room
Example based teaching
Supervised software usage, largely guided at beginning, and more free later when user skills increase
