In 2019, the Institute of Optics will hold its 58th annual summer school short-course series, offering a mix of one-week courses and two-and-a-half-day courses.
Fundamental Concepts (with labs) covering lenses, aberrations, principles of diffraction, optical systems, polarization, birefringence and crystal optics, and radiometry and detection.
Applied Concepts colorimetry and vision, wave guide photonics, and more.
Integrated Photonics Circuits targeted for students, researchers, and engineers in industry, who want to learn the fundamental aspects of integrated photonics circuits.
Opto-Mechanical Analysis (with labs) covering opto-mechanical analysis methods used to design high performance optical systems. Finite element modeling techniques for analyzing light-weight mirrors, mounts, and lens systems will be discussed. Other topics include fitting surface distortions with Zernike polynomials and the analysis of line-of-sight jitter in vibration environments. The integration of thermal and structural responses into optical design software is presented.
Opto-Mechanical Analysis Lab taught in a computer lab to illustrate the use of SigFit to solve a variety of optomechanical problems, including surface deformation, rigid body motion, active optics, line-of-sight calculations, thermo-optic and stress-optic analysis, optomechanical tolerance analysis, offset aperture analysis, and analysis of diffractive optics.
Optical Thin Film Coating Technology covers all aspects of optical interference devices including thin-film design, digital design methods, and coating and characterization.
Optical System Design introduces participants to both fundamental and advanced concepts in optical system design by integrating classroom lectures with software training labs in the Hopkins Optical Design Center. The course can be taken as a full week course or as one of two three day course options depending on interest/skill level. Introduction to Optical System Design covers first order layout, image quality evaluation, aberration theory, optimization, and refractive/reflective design forms. Advanced topics in optical system design begins with refractive/reflective design forms and then covers advanced optimization techniques, zoom lenses, aspheres, stray light analysis, tolerancing, and illumination design.
Modern Optical Engineering (with labs) covering optical testing and instrumentation, optical manufacturing, optical thin film coatings, diffractive optics, and glass in modern optics.
