FRED U.S. Tutorial Course Description
This course is a hands-on tutorial that is intended to provide new users with an understanding of how to construct FRED® models, execute the raytrace, and analyze the results. In so doing, many of FREDs extensive features and capabilities as an analysis tool will be demonstrated.  Examples will be constructed in real time and will include discussions of both imaging and non-imaging (illumination) applications. This tutorial is the first three days of the intensive 4 day tutorial course. The fourth day is optional and costs an additional $495 and can be attended separately. Please contact your Photon salesperson for more information.

Topics covered during the 3-day tutorial include: (Cost: $1400 for three full days.)

Topics covered during the optional 4th day tutorial include: (Cost: $1895 for four full days.)

What our customers say about us:
"Fantastic Course! Having a small group of students and an expert instructor was great. Rich Pfisterer also brings a lot of general optics (modeling) industry info which was interesting to me."
Andy Huibers - Texas Instruments

"This (the FRED tutorial) was an outstanding introduction to FRED's capabilities. After only 3 days, I'm able to build and import optical systems, perform significant analysis, and output the results. FRED has the shortest learning curve of any optical software I've ever encountered!"

Beth Sornsin, Ph. D. - Raytheon SBRS

"Most Straight Forward optical software ever. Think, draw, then simulate results in FRED."
Yong Xie - NASA
