BRO offers a variety of software classes to enable you to
efficiently and accurately solve your optical challenges
using the Advanced Systems Analysis Program (ASAP®) by
BRO. At all classes, BRO provides each participant with a
computer running the latest version of ASAP (and ReflectorCAD®, if appropriate). All of our classes receive
high marks in terms of both technical content and the
hospitality shown to students. Classes are a mix of
lecture and hands-on sessions. Enrollment for all classes
is limited to ensure individual instruction.
Tutorials will be taught by Dr. Mary Turner, an
accomplished optical designer. Mary has consulted on the
design and tolerance analysis of several optical systems,
covering a broad range of imaging and non-imaging optical
systems. At BRO she assists customers with the purchasing
process, explains features of ASAP™ and answers technical
questions. She holds a Ph.D from the University of
Arizona's Optical Sciences Center. |

Introduction to ASAP Tutorial (October
22–25, 2013, Location Bangalore) |
This introductory tutorial instructs ASAP users on
approaches to solving pre-defined imaging and illumination
problems. Designed to acquaint the new user with the full
list of ASAP features leading to a basic competency, the
tutorial is a balance of hands-on exercises,
demonstrations and lectures.
Course Overview
By guiding you through some straightforward examples
(imaging and non-imaging systems), you learn both
fundamental ASAP capabilities and methods and procedures
for solving the most common types of optical problems.
Toward the end of the tutorial, several advanced
simulation and analysis concepts such as ray splitting and
ray scattering are introduced.
Course Outline
- ASAP menus and dialog boxes, including the Builder;
powerful scripting language; and integrated translators
(including ASAP/IGES, ASAP/OSLO, and ASAP/ZEMAX)
- Optical system modeling, including optical
properties, system geometry, and object database
construction
- Source modeling, including physical, spatial and
angular definitions of incoherent point and extended
sources, as well as coherent point sources
- Numerical and graphical verification of system and
source models
- Ray tracing and analysis
- Several advanced simulation and analysis concepts,
such as object bounding, ray splitting, and ray
scattering
Familiarity with geometric and optical concepts is
helpful but not required.
This Introductory Tutorial is a four-day course limited
to 16 participants and will be on a
first-come-first-serve basis.

Introduction to APEX Tutorial (October 28–31, 2013,
Location Bangalore) |
This tutorial provides
an introduction to using the APEX optical design and
analysis program, with hands-on exercises,
demonstrations, and lectures. Students follow the APEX
workflow procedure to design and analyze a variety of
illumination and imaging systems.
Course Overview
Students learn to apply the 4-Step workflow to
accurately design and analyze common illumination
systems, such as conic reflectors, lightpipes, and
CPCs. The integrated SolidWorks(r) CAD capabilities
can be used to generate a wide range of system
components. APEX Wizard's are introduced for adding
light sources -- such as LEDs -- to system models, and
for creating high-accuracy optical geometry -- such as
aspheres. Course materials based on theory as well as
practical experience are used to drive corresponding
hands-on practice sessions. Students learn how to
perform radiometric and photometric analyses to assess
the performance of optical systems.
Course Outline
- Overview of the 4-Step Process
- Creating geometry in CAD
- Creating geometry using the Optical Manager
- Applying optical properties
- Refraction, reflection, absorption, and scatter
- Basic radiometry and photometry
- Total internal reflection
- Fresnel reflection and transmission
- Designing conic reflectors
- Faceting reflectors
- Designing geometry for reuse
- CPCs, prisms, lenses
Familiarity with
geometric and optical concepts is helpful but not
required.
This Advanced Tutorial is a four-day course limited to
16 participants and will be on a
first-come-first-serve basis.

"The Introductory
ASAP Tutorial provides comprehensive
introductory information and a chance to meet
and discuss ideas with users who have different
applications. To directly discuss my application
with experienced instructors and other users was
most valuable for me."
Ting-Ming Huang,
Associate Researcher, PIDC, National Science
Council of Taiwan |

"Before I attended
the [ASAP training] tutorial, I thought that it
was very difficult to use ASAP well. After the
tutorial, I have a new impression of ASAP."
Hecht Pan, Delta
Electronics, Taiwan |

"I have valued
ASAP for a number of years. After reading
through the ASAP Primer, I was even more
impressed. The material is logically presented,
clear, and comprehensive."
Ross McCluney, Ph.D.,
Principal Research Scientist, Florida Solar
Energy Center, a research institute of the
University of Central Florida |

"I had a chance to
view some of the movies on the BRO website and
found them very useful. The movie on using the
BRO Light Source Wizard was very helpful. Seeing
someone go through the process of creating a
light source really helped me understand the
steps needed."
Bob Czajkowski,
Principle Engineer, Federal Signal |

"ASAP gives me the
capability to develop my own simulation and
optimization tools. Day after day, my ASAP
experience is translated into a set of more and
more numerous, precise and versatile scripts"
