Introduction to Illumination Design Using LightTools
A Short Course for Technical Professionals
October 2-4, 2017 — Sunnyvale, CA
This 3-day short course provides a detailed introduction to the use of LightTools for engineers and scientists who wish to model and analyze the interaction of light with opto-mechanical systems. It will assume some familiarity with optical concepts and terminology.
You will learn to use all of the major features of LightTools including model creation, illumination simulation, optimization, and COM macro programming. Hands-on use of LightTools forms the basis of the course.
The course will include how to:
- Create an opto-mechanical system model within LightTools, with native geometry or imported from a CAD program
- Use Surface Properties to define the interaction of light with smooth, scattering, and complex surfaces
- Use Boolean operations to construct complex structures
- Set up an illumination system, including multiple sources and multiple receivers
- Understand, interpret, and manipulate the intensity and illuminance analyses
- Create photorealistic renderings of models to visualize the system performance
- Improve system performance by using LightTools optimization with its various merit functions
Course Information
Classes begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. each day, with coffee and lunch breaks at appropriate times.
Attendees are required to bring their own laptop. It is highly recommended to have the LightTools software installed before attending the class. The user must have Administrator-level privileges on the laptop. For additional information, please see the LightTools hardware/operating system requirements. It is highly recommended to have the LightTools software installed before attending the class. Please email lighttools_support@synopsys.com for support and more details on setting up the laptop before the first day of class. Please indicate the laptop option on the registration form.
Registration Information
Who Should Attend?
