CODE V Café
The Practical Optics Workshop’s educational outreach program, CODE V Café, is dedicated to providing an academic study of optical system design and illumination system design and analysis. Interested participants can attend all or some of them as needed.
Participants will develop optical software skills to apply during various practical imaging and illumination optical system design examples and real-world problems. The opening presentation will provide an introduction to the basics of CODE V optical design software, rendering the forum accessible and beneficial to participants of all levels. Also, the forum will include a few advanced topics covering optimization, tolerancing, and non-sequential stray light analysis.
As the title of the forum suggests, each session will include high-quality, local coffee from around Tucson, sponsored by the POW program. This community-centered forum is designed for an audience of optics students with various backgrounds. Individual advice with research projects will be provided as needed and upon request.
Workshop instructors: Trenton Brendel, Sara Mendoza, David Vega, Travis Sawyer, Soheila Boojari, Xuan Wang, Benjamin Cromey, Brandon Hellman, Hyukmo Kang, Yanqi Zhang
