Introduction to Illumination Design Using LightTools

This 4-day short course is a practical introduction to LightTools for engineers and scientists who wish to model and analyze the interaction of light with opto-mechanical systems. It assumes some familiarity with optical concepts and terminology. The course will be taught using LightTools 8.0. The course is based on interactive examples of various illumination systems rather than lectures. This hands-on approach maximizes time spent using LightTools while incorporating key illumination concepts in their practical context. Workshop problems provide opportunity for additional practice.
