Course objectives and basic requirements:

 

 

 

The course is designed for the graduate students to understand the basic theories, concepts of non-senquential ray-tracing and its applications. Upon successful completion of this course, the students will possess the ability to simulate typical opto-mechinical system and optical phenomenas.
The students should:
1.understand fundamental theories, concepts of non-sequential ray-tracing and its applications;
2.be able to model typical opto-mechinical system and optical phenomenas with ASAP;
3.possess the ability to build models with script and macro-langages of ASAP;
4.basically understand how to simulate coherent optical system and micro-optical element with ASAP.
Course introduction:
The same as the Zemax, ASAP is one of the most popular software codes used world wide in engineering optical researches and design fields. This course is designed to familiarize students with the concept of non-sequential ray-tracing and its applications. The students will learn to build the models of typical lighting-sources, opto-mechanics systems, ray-tracing, and analyzing the tracing results from view of different application by ASAP, and then verify the rationality of the results. The lectures also provide an introduction about how to simulate with script language and macro-language of ASAP, as well as modeling and simulation of coherent optical system and micro-optical elements.
