Zemax Training
Leanne Wittlin
It is our online training platform where you can browse our catalog of courses and learning plans, and go through your online training at your own pace.
A course contains half a day of training material , is priced at 300$ and provides 7 days of access.
A learning path is a bundle of courses, with a common topic and goal. At the end of a learning path, you get a certificate sharable on LinkedIn.
1- What is a course, and what is a learning plan?
>The online content is divided into courses and learning plans. A course is the smallest online training unit that may be purcahsed. A learning plan consists of a group of courses that we have carefully selected for the optimum learning experience.
3- How much days does it take and also how much training hours per day.
>It depends on the Learning Plan. For Optical System Design for example, we recommend you take 5 full days. Trainees are free to break it down as they wish to fit their schedule within the duration.
Each individual course is designed be about half a day to go through.
4- Will I be able to ask questions during the course, and receive responses?
>Yes, you can use the comment section powered by disqus in the platform to ask questions and get answers from our instructors.
5- What background information is required from my side to be able to efficiently understand the course?
>Our training is designed for engineers with a background in optics or at least physics but not necessarily with Zemax OpticStudio.
6- Is the 30 days and 5 days access start once the student is registered or when the student starts the course ?
>The customer will receive an activation code, and the timer starts when they activate the course with the link.
7- Will I have access to this online course permanently? i.e. Can I come back and re-visit some videos after I finish this online course?
>30 days access to the learning platform for the full learning plan or 7 days for an individual course.
You do get the .PDF training notes to download.
8- Do I need to have a Zemax license for this training?
>Yes, you need to have a Zemax OpticStudio license. I recommend that you use the latest subscription version as you might not be able to reproduce all the examples otherwise.
9- Will I get a certificate?
>You only get the certificate upon completion of a learning plan. You will receive an email with the certificate .PDF as well as a Linkedin certificate link. Our learning plans are CPD accredited. Delegates completing a learning plan receive a CPD Certificate of Attendance and can record their attendance towards their formal CPD requirements for their professional body, institute or employer.
10- How to make an online payment
>After you click the purchase button for a course or a learning plan, you will be redirected to a page where you can enter your details. Please allow 24h for us to process the order and get you up and running with your training.
Our courses are consistent with the tools and workflow of Zemax OpticStudio 19.8.
We are currently updating our course content to include the manufacturability tools released in 20.1 and 20.2.
Allow me to announce here that we have now published a localized version of the Optical System Design Learning Plan in Chinese and Japanese. Just follow the link and there are dedicated pages for Chinese and Japanese content.
Watch out OpticsBuilder User Group the new OB course on OpticsAcademy is now available. With this course the OpticsBuilder users can learn the basic concepts of optics required to package, analyze, and validate optomechanical systems and describe how the Zemax ray trace engine calculates and measures optical performance, how to apply the conversion workflow from Zemax OpticStudio to the CAD environment with the OpticsBuilder add-in, understand how to use the vast variety of OpticsBuilder tools on use-case example and how to use the optical drawings feature of OpticsBuilder.
In this training, you will learn about the various algorithms that Ansys Zemax OpticStudio offers for the simulation of an optical system. Starting from basic application examples, you will learn the most important aspects of sequential raytracing used in lens design. In selected practical exercises, you will learn how to model and analyze optical systems. This will help you to understand how imaging and non-imaging systems can be systematically developed and evaluated. You will learn, how to set up innovative, optimized and tolerant optical designs, taking into account structural and thermal effects.
If you book through your university, you will receive a 50% discount on the stated fee on training courses and eLearning courses.

This paid training course covers the basics of optical system design in Ansys Zemax OpticStudio. Participants will learn the fundamentals of optical design, including identifying aberrations, different optimization techniques, image simulations, and tolerancing. Specific topics include: ray and wave aberrations, creating a merit function, global optimization, coordinate breaks, building a tolerance file, and desensitization.
Upon completion of this course, students will thoroughly understand the process of optical system design and acquire the skills to carry out practical optical systemdesign using widely used commercial design software (Zemax). This course will start with an overview of modern imaging systems and the introductionof the background knowledge points required for imaging system design. Next, we will provide systematic training for using the ray-tracing software(Zemax) to carry out practical imaging system design. The learning process involves both a theoretical understanding of the aberration of the imagingsystem and how to leverage design software to control and suppress the system aberration. To convert the basic design model to practical systems, wewill discuss the practical aspects of imaging system design including the tolerance analysis, optomechanical integration, and the calibration and testing of imaging systems. Next, we will utilize these fundamental skills to analyze and design practical imaging solutions including camera systems andmicroscopic imaging systems. Finally, we will discuss the wave propagation method for analyzing high numerical aperture imaging systems.

The course was given by Prof. Herbert Gross and introduced student to the planning of complex optics experiments with the software OpticStudio (Zemax). Zemax delivers design software, training, and support services that set the highest standards for the optical and illumination industries. Zemax training is typically required in majority of photonics industry sectors. This course and certification will be useful for future studies and career.
In addition to gaining new knowledge about an important tool and resource, CREATE students had individualized schedules of lab tours and project meetings to plan their research collaborations in Jena. Some students also took advantage of this opportunity and extended their visit for first joint experiments in the GRK labs.
A unique opportunity to participate in Zemax OpticsStudio training in Finland from 7th to 8th October, 2019. This course will give you latest knowledge and will give you competitive advantages. Course is taught by Zemax optical and mechanical engineers. Course will be held in VTT facilities in Espoo. Course is organized by University of Eastern Finland.
