Introduction to Illumination Design Using LightTools
Spring Training
March 19-21, 2019 - Mountain View, CA
Summer Training
July 15-17, 2019 - Pasadena, CA
Fall Training
November 12-14, 2019 - Mountain View, CA
This 3-day short course provides a detailed introduction to the use of LightTools for modeling and analyzing 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 Optical 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
- 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. Both LightTools and Microsoft Excel must be installed as Windows programs on the laptop. 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.
Registration Information
Who Should Attend?
Any engineer, designer, or scientist who wants to learn to use LightTools illumination design software for optical systems modeling and illumination analysis will benefit from this course. Though not required, some familiarity with optical engineering and CAD (concepts and terminology) is helpful.
Directions and accommodation information will be emailed upon receipt of registration.
Registration and Fees
The fee for this short course is $1,000, and the attendee must provide their own laptop. This includes instruction, course notes, and refreshments.
Attendance is limited, though minimum enrollments must be met. Pre-registration with payment must be made at least three weeks before the start of the courses. The fee is refundable up to that point. (A $200 fee is charged for later cancellations.)
Lunches will be provided on all days, so please indicate your dietary preference on the registration form.
