Applied Digital Projector Design with ZEMAX®

Applied Digital Projector Design with ZEMAX® is an intermediate level course aimed at experienced users of ZEMAX® optical design and analysis software.  This applied design course consists of one day of compressed high level optics of digital projector course to bring the students up to speed quickly on the basics of the optics in digital projectors.  A certain level of optical engineering education and experience is assumed.  During day two and day three we use Zemax® optical design and analysis software to design and analyze a single panel DLP projector. During day four we use Zemax® to design a three panel LCOS light engine.
