Ansys Zemax OpticStudio is a standard program for optical design of various kinds of optical systems. The authors, Donald C. O’Shea and Julie L. Bentley, are recognized lecturers and researchers in the field of optical design.
The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate how to design an optical system using Zemax OpticStudio. It is a unique book that contains the whole design process from lens definition through analysis of aberrations and lens performance.
Everything is developed and illustrated by a large number of screenshots so that readers can follow each step in the design process by using the program. As it is written in the book’s dedication, it is intended for all optics students, especially those who ask questions. The book also has a lot of exercises, so the reader can fully understand the discussed topics.
