Syllabus

This course is based on the books and the articles that I have read. You can see examples of my optical designs and my experience on this website. I can also provide you with a list of people that can recommend me. The cost of the list of books and articles is 500 USD. The list includes pages that should be read. If you have questions, I will help you for 80 USD/hour. You will need about 6 months to learn the course. The version ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio Pro can be for the course. If you do not have experience with the usage ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio, I suggest taking a free trial. See the link below.

ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio Pro

You can contact ANSYS and ask to loan ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio for the short term. See the link below. There is a free student version of the program with serious limitations that can be loaned to 12 months. For example, Hammer optimization can be used only 1 minute. No more than 4 CPU cores are available for computation. To optimize design sometimes a few hours of the Hammer optimization is required at 64 CPU. See the link below. I suggest that students start learn the course with this version and then take the free trial version of the program for 30 days.

If you can not loan the program, I suggest putting an announcement in LinkedIn groups related to ZEMAX and Optical design. Write that you are ready to buy ZEMAX-OpticStudio software from 2017 or 2018. This software is permanent. No need to pay for support or loan. There is no significant differences in capabilities of versions 2017 and 2024 related to design of imaging systems. If a group of students in Israeli university is interested in learning the course, they can loan the program for a reduced price. Please contact marketing specialist of ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio in Israel Yarden Shva yarden.shva@ansys.com.

There are many other courses in optical design. But, it is important to show the articles that describe designs made by you to potential employers. I will help you to write these articles.
