Camp in Optical System Design

The camp is designed for students with the background in optics or those interested in broadening their knowledge in this field. So if you could be easily inspired just by thinking about how to reduce aberrations in optical systems or increase the resolution of imaging system, this program is exactly the thing for you!

Summer Camp Program
The camp incorporates a list of 13 topics in optical system design and includes both theoretical classes and hands-on experience of using special optical design software that can be applied for developing a wide range of optical instruments and devices.

List of possible research topics:

Design of a two-mirror optical scheme of a telescope’s objective
Design of a catadioptric scheme of a telescope’s objective
Design of a telescopic system with lens inverting system
Design of a telescopic system with prism inverting system
Design of a microscope’s objective
Design of a photo objective with fixed focal length
Design of a system for laser beam collimation
Design of a system for laser beam concentration
Design of an objective for the LWIR region
Design of a condenser lens
Design of an eyepiece
Design of a microscope’s illumination system in microscope
Design of a lens endoscopic system
