Intro­duc­tion

The demand for phy­si­cal optics simu­la­tion tech­no­logy has grown distinctly to the point where, for many appli­ca­ti­ons in modern optics, it sim­ply can­not be avo­ided. The­r­e­fore swit­ching to a phy­si­cal optics model only in those parts of the sys­tem where ray tra­cing is not expec­ted to be an accu­rate option risks miss­ing important infor­ma­tion about the sys­tem, mainly due to the mutually incom­pa­ti­ble mathe­ma­ti­cal models – rays and elec­tro­ma­gne­tic fields is necessary.

Fur­ther­more phy­si­cal-opti­cal effects may also be rele­vant in other parts of the sys­tem were they were in prin­ci­ple not expec­ted. This is the jus­ti­fi­ca­tion behind the pro­po­sal for a ›fast phy­si­cal optics‹ approach: a phy­si­cal optics tech­ni­que which includes a gene­ra­liza­tion of ray tra­cing fully embedded inside the over­ar­ching phy­si­cal optics frame­work, and which, con­se­quently, pro­vi­des phy­si­cal optics simu­la­tion results just as fast as ray tracing.

In the Opto­Net Sum­mer Course Fast Phy­si­cal Optics Mode­ling and Design, we will equip you with the neces­sary theo­re­ti­cal and prac­ti­cal know­ledge to make the most of your work with the fast phy­si­cal optics soft­ware Vir­tual­Lab Fusion!

PROGRAM & TRAINING CONCEPT

Phy­si­cal optics simu­la­tion tools & tech­no­logy are a must-have for the ana­ly­sis and design of modern sys­tems. In this course we will be employ­ing the com­mer­cial fast phy­si­cal optics mode­ling and design soft­ware Vir­tual­Lab Fusion to inves­ti­gate a series of opti­cal sys­tems taken from a broad range of fields of appli­ca­tion. We will use these examp­les to intro­duce the most important fea­tures and details of the under­ly­ing tech­no­logy of the soft­ware, from a very gene­ral per­spec­tive. New fea­tures and chan­ges in the latest soft­ware will of course be covered within this course.

lEC­TU­R­ERS

The course will be taught by experts of the Opti­cal Engi­nee­ring team at Light­Trans. Their daily work in direct cont­act with users of Vir­tual­Lab Fusion from all over the world means that they do not only have in-depth know­ledge of the soft­ware and how it works, but also, cru­ci­ally, of how best to put it to use in order to satisfy the requi­re­ments of a wide range of (curr­ently in-demand) fields of application.

 

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

This course is desi­gned for opti­cal sci­en­tists, engi­neers, desi­gners with vary­ing levels of exper­tise with Vir­tual­Lab Fusion in mind, start­ing from total beg­in­ners.  

This three-day course pro­vi­des an over­view of Vir­tual­Lab Fusion’s fast phy­si­cal optics usage and tech­no­logy, and shows how to apply said tech­no­logy to a series of examp­les from a varied range of appli­ca­ti­ons. Beg­in­ner to inter­me­diate level. 

VENUE

The Sum­mer Course will take place in Jena, the city of Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss who laid the foun­da­tion for modern optics 150 years ago. Since then the sci­ence city Jena has been shaped by inno­va­tive, light-based tech­no­lo­gies. Enjoy the spi­rit in the young uni­ver­sity town sur­roun­ded by a magni­fi­cent land­scape and well-known sights of Euro­pean history.

The venue is the SCALA Sky Conference

The semi­nar will take place in the SCALA Sky Con­fe­rence room at the JENTOWER, Leu­tra­gra­ben 1, in Jena. With pro­fes­sio­nal tech­ni­cal equip­ment and a plea­santly undis­tur­bed envi­ron­ment in an inno­va­tive dyna­mic envi­ron­ment, the best con­di­ti­ons for con­cen­tra­ted work are crea­ted. During the breaks, we offer healthy, balan­ced cui­sine for refresh­ment and well-being.
