Optics and Magic Course
This talk will be a fast paced journey through many interesting
and revealing aspects of optical system design. It will introduce
you to some of the many fascinating and important subtleties
of our field, and you will learn why optical design is in
many cases both a science and an art.
Some of the topics to be discussed:
Image degradations or aberrations, what they are and how
to get rid of them.
Optical configurations and design tradeoffs
Optical design for different spectral bands
High performance for Optical systems
Off the shelf versus custom optics
Intended Audience
This course is intended for anyone who desires to learn how
to design optical systems. It is valuable for those who design
their own optics or who work with optical designers.
