601 Optical Design Optical design extends the theory of geometrical optics to include techniques based on real raytracing.
Students learn to use CODE V to design lens and mirror systems.
John Loomis, Optical Design , lecture notes. This course mixes lectures on geometrical optics and lens design with computer lab sessions using CODE V. Students will also use a PC-based optical design program. Students will be expected to complete seven design studies using the computer and six additional general homework assignments which are not specifically computer-oriented. There will be a final exam consisting of conceptual questions.
