Understanding Focal Lengths, Nodal Points, and Principal Planes and Zemax Simulation

Mastering Lens Cardinal Points & Optical System Design with Zemax

Are you looking to master optical system design and understand lens cardinal points, principal planes, and focal lengths? Do you want to apply these concepts using Zemax OpticStudio for real-world optical simulations?

This course provides a deep dive into the fundamental principles of lens systems, including effective focal length (EFL), back and front focal lengths (BFL & FFL), principal planes (BPP & FPP), and nodal points. You'll also learn how immersed optical systems differ from standard systems and how to analyze them in Zemax.

What You Will Learn:

  • Understand Lens Cardinal Points and their role in optical system design.

  • Learn how to calculate focal lengths, principal planes, and hiatus in thick lenses.

  • Master the concept of nodal points and their applications in optical systems.

  • Analyze immersed optical systems and understand how they affect optical performance.

  • Gain hands-on experience with practical examples of thick lenses and immersed lenses.

  • Learn how to model and extract optical system parameters in Zemax OpticStudio.
