I propose to my clients the course "Design imaging systems in visual range using ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio".You
can learn the course at home and at any convenient time. The course is based on the reading of specific chapters from different

Syllabus
This course is based on the books and the articles that I have read. You can see examples
of my optical designs and my experience on this website. I can also provide you with a list of people that can recommend me.
The cost of the list of books and articles is 400 USD. The list includes pages that should be read. If you have questions,
I will help you for 80 USD/hour. You will need about 6 months to learn the course. The version ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio Pro
should be used. If you do not have experience with the usage ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio, I suggest taking a free trial. See the
link below.
ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio Pro
You can contact ANSYS and ask to loan ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio for the short term.
See the link below. There is a free student version of the program with serious limitations that can be loaned to 12 months.
For example, Hammer optimization can be used only 1 minute. No more than 4 CPU cores are available for computation. To optimize
design sometimes a few hours of the Hammer optimization is required at 64 CPU. See the link below. I suggest that students
start learn the course with this version and then take the free trial version of the program for 30 days.
Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Student - Free Software Download
The cost of loaning Ansys Zemax OpticStudio Pro is 3,690 USD for a year. This information
was obtained in September 2024. So, if you can not loan the program, I suggest putting an announcement in LinkedIn groups
related to ZEMAX or Optical design. Write that you are ready to buy ZEMAX-OpticStudio software from 2017 or 2018. This software
is permanent. No need to pay for support or loan. There are no significant differences in the capabilities of the design imaging
systems between version 2018 and the current version. If a group of students in Israeli universities is interested in learning
the course, they can loan the program for a reduced price. Please contact marketing specialist of ANSYS-ZEMAX-OpticStudio
in Israel Yarden Shva yarden.shva@ansys.com.
There are many other courses in optical design. But, it is important to show the articles
that describe designs made by you to potential employers. I will help you to write these articles.
