BUILT AROUND YOUR STARTING POINT

For students finding their way into optical design, engineers developing their skills, and anyone looking for a clearer direction on an ongoing optical project.

01TWO WAYS FORWARD

Start where you are.

01 / PROJECT GUIDANCE

Guidance for an
existing project

Bring your current design and the questions you’re facing. Work through the difficulties and identify useful next steps.

  • Review the current optical design
  • Understand constraints and difficulties
  • Discuss a practical direction for refinement
Discuss your project
02 / GUIDED LEARNING

Learning
optical design

Build your understanding through guidance aligned with your background, interests, and the systems you want to design.

  • Connect optical principles to design decisions
  • Explore relevant design and analysis methods
  • Develop a workflow around your learning goals
Share your learning goals

02WHAT WE CAN WORK THROUGH

From the first question
to the next design decision.

01

Understand the requirements

Translate an application into optical requirements and identify the constraints that matter.

02

Find a starting point

Explore suitable initial configurations for camera lenses, telescopes, and infrared zoom systems.

03

Build a design workflow

Connect modelling decisions with a clear sequence of analysis and refinement.

04

Read the aberrations

Understand how aberrations affect the design and where useful improvements may lie.

05

Optimize with purpose

Choose design variables and evaluation criteria that reflect the optical objective.

06

Interpret the results

Make sense of spot diagrams, MTF, and other analyses in the context of the project.

03HOW IT STARTS

A conversation. A clear direction.

  1. 01
