Introduction to VirtualLab Fusion
24 - 25 September 2018
Jena, Germany
9:00 am - 5:00 pm
The software training gives an introduction to the principles of the innovative optical design methods of VirtualLab. Components of VirtualLab’s user interface are introduced and the different types of documents are discussed in detail. Participants learn step by step about components, sources and detectors of VirtualLab. The setup and the simulation of optical systems will be illustrated on various laser systems. The goal of the course is that participants learn how to model and simulate optical systems in VirtualLab. Discover the fast physical optics concept and how to benefit from it through our user-friendly GUI!
Short Overview (daily program is available here):
- Brief overview and introduction toVirtualLab documents, GUI and usage
- Brief overview of the theory behind the algorithm
- Introduction to the concepts of field and ray tracing for the simulation of light in optical systems
- Application-oriented examples such as microscope and spectrometer setups
- Simulation of paraxial and non-paraxial lens systems
- Polarization of light
