Université Laval is the only Canadian university offering post-graduate training in optical design. Many courses related to the LRIO and Industrial research chair in lens design's activities are offered at Université Laval. Here is a short list of the notable courses.
Introduction to lens design - PHY-7043/GPH-4101
This course’s goal is to display the issues concerning the use of optical components. Once the course is finished, the student should know how to design, organise and validate an optical system and how to use optical design software. After a quick introduction, the course addresses geometrical optics, optical materials, aberrations, image quality and optical system design. Learn more...
Lens design - PHY-7096
This course centers on understanding, analysing and correcting optical aberrations created by a variety of optical systems. The focus is put on practical understanding of optical design and the use of optical design software tools. This is done through a series of projects concerning the optimisation of several optical systems. Learn more...
Optomechanics - PHY-7100
Optomechanics is the field of engineering specialised in the mounting of passive and active optical components. This course centers on understanding, analysing an applying theoretical and practical notions in optical mounting. The focus is on practical understanding of the basics of mechanical design and validation of functional optomechanical systems. Learn more...
