What will I learn?
Gain essential skills in geometric optics to confidently design and analyse compact imaging systems. Master thin-lens equations, magnification, ray tracing, and sign conventions, applying them to multi-element systems, folded optical paths, and tolerance analysis. Develop expertise in managing aberrations, alignment, depth of field, and producing clear documentation for precise, efficient optical designs.
