Optical Engineering & Design
- Fundamentals and Innovations
Call for Papers
Optical design software programmes have had to keep up with rapid advances in photonics technology in recent years and there have been many developments in the capabilities of packages for design of optical components and systems. For example in designing for growth sectors such as ultra-efficient lighting systems, micromachining, photovoltaic systems, in photolithography, high power laser systems, sensors and more …
This meeting will be a forum for the exchange of ideas, for presentation of interesting applications and design solutions in the established market and for future optical engineering and design.
The committee intends to include presentations on applications, examples of problems solved and criteria for good design. Included will be a presentation on skills companies require of an optical designer and
a really practical session on software tricks, methods and using macros
in the UK’s most popular software packages.
We invite you to participate and to present your work and share your experience.
Jake Sharpstone, Chairman of the committee
Deadline Date for Paper Submission: 3rd September 2010
This meeting will be an important opportunity to network with leaders in optical engineering and design. For those new to optical design and integration this will be an excellent chance for professional
development.
This meeting will comprise academic & industrial sessions and will be a mix of invited and contributed papers. We are calling for contributions in the following, though not exclusive, areas: Control of flare • Design desensitisation • Design problems • Designing for photolithography • Designing thin films • Lamp optimisation • Laser basics • Lens technology • Manufacturability • Micromachining • Optical imaging and illumination systems • Optical schemes • Optical system analysis • Partial coherence • |
