International Optical Design Conference (IODC) 2023

International Optical Design Conference (IODC)

The International Optical Design Conference (IODC) occurs every four years and provides the opportunity for attendees from around the world to interact in a structured and yet informal format. IODC, which is co-located with the closely-related Optical Fabrication and Testing (OFT) Topical Meeting, covers a wide range of applications and developments throughout the industry and incorporates freeform optics-related design.

During the past few years, many areas of optical design have seen rapid development driven by a combination of increased demands on system performance, significant advances in both computing power and design software, and by new manufacturing technologies that offer entirely new engineering options. With such an increase of activity occurring throughout the optics industry, it becomes imperative for designers, engineers and scientists to keep up to date with the latest state of the art.

Synopsys Demos

At IODC, the Synopsys Optical Solutions Group will showcase our software solutions that enable you to design accurate, easy-to-manufacture optical systems. Speak with our experts to learn more about our innovative software packages including CODE V® imaging design software, LightTools®  illumination design software, and RSoft™ Photonic Device Tools for streamlined, multi-domain co-simulations of nano-textured optical structures. We offer optical design services, with more than 5,500 completed projects in imaging, illumination, and optical systems engineering. And our optical measurement solutions give customers access to precision light scattering data for materials and media used in optical systems.
