Veranstaltungen

Am 26. und 27. September 2017 findet die 7. Wetzlarer Herbsttagung in der Stadthalle Wetzlar statt.

Veranstalter: Optence e. V.

Weitere Informationen: .pdf

Am 13. u. 14. September 2017 findet ein zweitägiger Kurs "Einführung in das Optik-Design mit ZEMAX" veranstaltet von Optence e. V. in  Darmstadt statt.

Die in der Schul- und Hochschulausbildung vermittelten Lehrinhalte der Optik reichen häufig nicht aus, um auch nur kleinere Berechnungen aus dem Gebiet der technischen Optik zielgerichtet durchführen zu können.

Der Kurs richtetsich daher an alle Ingenieure, Physiker, Techniker und Naturwissenschaftler, die sich mit der Entwicklung optischer Geräte befassen oder solche bei ihrer Arbeit einsetzen und ihre Kompetenzauf dem Gebiet der Optik ausbauen wollen.

Das Seminar soll die Teilnehmer in die Lage versetzen, optische Systeme zu spezifizieren, ihre Abbildungsleistung zu bewerten und auch eigene Berechnungen zur Auslegung, Dimensionierung bis hin zur Korrektur mit Hilfe des Optik-Design-Programms ZEMAX eigenständig durchführen zu können.

Am 6. September findet in Lüdenscheid ein Seminar zum Thema Berechnung von Kunststoffoptiken,
veranstaltet von Optence e. V. statt.

Die Bedeutung optischer Systeme nimmt kontinuierlich zu. Aus diesem Grund führt Sie dieses Seminar systematisch von den Grundlagen der Lichttechnik an deren praktische Umsetzung heran. Sie lernen, dieses Wissen für sich anzuwenden und die Wirkungsweise optischer Systeme besser zu verstehen.
So können Sie schon frühzeitig grundlegende Gestaltungsrichtlinien in Ihren Entwicklungen berücksichtigen.
Ergänzend zum theoretischen Teil werden umfangreiche praktische Beispiele gezeigt.

EOS Optical Technologies

Advancements in technology and innovative manufacturing processes are crucial for optical sector growth in today's global markets. Markets with high developmental momentum include the energy and semiconductor, life sciences, health care and the agri-food industries. Optical technologies play a crucial role in these markets, the importance of sophisticated but economically priced optical components being vital to new products and applications.

EOS Conference on Manufacturing of Optical Systems

Manufacturing of Optical Systems will highlight significant technology trends, emerging technologies and associated prospective developments in the field of optics fabrication and testing. This conference provides a forum for all aspects of optics fabrication and testing, ranging from micro to large-scale optics and from high value one-off to mass-produced components including lessons learned papers on special manufacturing issues such as polishing process stability and finishing processes for high-end optics, optics featuring clear apertures below 1 mm or above 100 mm in diameter. One main goal of the meeting is to provide a better link between the design, the manufacturing, and the characterization of optical components and systems. For the first time, there will be a reviewed industrial poster session displayed during the whole conference with companies presenting their key technology competences.
General Chair: Oliver Fähnle, FISBA OPTIK AG (CH)
Co-Chair: Sven Schröder, Fraunhofer IOF (DE)

Topics include

Optics Fabrication, from single piece to High-Volume Fab, from sub-millimeter optics to meter optics and wafer-level optics Testing, Specification, and Characterization of Light Scattering,
Roughness, Shape, Defects, subsurface damage, MTF and mid-spatials
Finishing methods, e.g. SPDT, MRF, IBF, ductile grinding, FJP, laser polishing, CCP and traditional polishing
Optimization techniques in optics fabrication
Fabrication friendly Optical Design and Tolerancing
Lessons learned producing high level aspheres and freeform optics

Industrial poster session

For the first time, there will be a reviewed industrial poster session being organized where companies are entitled to present their key technology competences on a poster that will be presented during the whole time of the conference in the conference session room. Posters presenting competences and know how rather than products will be preferred.

EOS Conference on Optofluidics

Optofluidics emerged approximately 10 years ago aiming at the fusion of integrated optics with microfluidics. Since then, a wealth of new scientific principles and technologies have emerged. Through this conference, the latest developments in Optofluidics will be explored, serving as the main meeting point of the international optofluidics community.

EOS Conference on Optomechanical Engineering

Optomechanical Engineering, the branch of Optical Engineering related to the simulation and construction of complete optical systems, is a key discipline in most fields of optics and photonics. The building of instrumentation which needs to work in real-world environments, from space to underwater or inside the human body, strongly relies in the approaches taken to compensate the effects of hostile environments. Optomechanical Engineering will bring on the most relevant experts and approaches of this evolving field in the land between optics and mechanics. Contributions on simulation methods (mechanical, optical, thermal, etc.) tolerancing for optomechanics, novel assembly methods and materials, design strategies, and use cases are welcome. The aim of the conference is to bring together the vibrant community of optomechanical engineers working in fields as diverse as aerospace and medicine to share methods and experiences and exchange practical knowledge.
