Keysight Optical Design Engineering

Available Course | Illumination Fundamentals Training with JMO Illumination Optics

For engineers working in illumination design, a solid understanding of light behavior is essential for making reliable design decisions.

Our upcoming Illumination Fundamentals training provides a practical, measurement‑driven approach to key topics in illumination optics, including:

-Modeling sources and optical systems
-Photometric quantities and light behavior
-Optical elements and freeform optics
-Colorimetry for LED applications

The course is instructor‑led and designed for both those new to illumination and those looking to deepen their understanding.

Meet Kyle Miller, Ph.D.—one of the brilliant minds behind our R&D team!

Kyle works on advancing high-performance computing for our optical design software, helping make simulations faster and more powerful. Before joining us, Kyle developed cutting-edge algorithms to model complex laser and plasma interactions—some with speed improvements of over 1000×!

Outside of work, Kyle is a musician (saxophone, clarinet, and piano 🎷), enjoys basketball, board games, and spending time with family.

📘Good read for anyone working with imaging systems: Modeling the Imaging Chain of Digital Cameras by Brian Fiete (SPIE)

This book is a great reminder that an optical system is more than just the lens. While a lot of time is usually spent optimizing optics, other parts of the system—like the detector or signal processing—can end up being the real performance bottleneck.

It does a nice job walking through the full imaging chain, from scene radiometry all the way to data processing, and explains how each stage affects the final image. Very practical, very systems‑level thinking.

A solid recommendation for anyone in optics who wants to better understand how real imaging systems behave end to end. 👌Recommended by our optical engineers on staff.
