I am a former senior optical design engineer at Si-Ware Systems. I have 5 years of experience in this field. I was also a teaching assistant at Ain Shams University for 1 year. Reading (especially in mathematics and physics) takes most of my free time. I have also other hobbies like calligraphy and cartography.

Very little is explained or shown why you would use specific functions or tools.

This course gives pretty clear introduction on how to use Zemax for Non-Sequential mode ray tracing. Nice course!
By Khaled Hassan on 8/9/2020
Very nice content. Explanation is clear. To the point. Keep going.
By Luis Jordan on 8/8/2020
I wish he explained the concept a little clearer.

Well broken down into sections. Makes it easy to go back and frevise how every feature works in Zemax. Overall gives a good introduction to a powerfull software.

One of the best online courses that I attended. The presentation is clear, the examples are very useful and conveying the message and the break-out of the lessons is very logical and to the point. The course also covered most of the needed options for starting working with non-sequential mode in Zemax. I would like to see more examples and projects to apply all the learned topics in a real case, maybe an end project or something. I am also looking forward for more advanced level course including more advanced topics in optical design using Zemax, like aberrations.

This course requires no previous experience in ray optics which suits me
