Beijing, 20th October 2025 (BISTU)--- VirtualLab Fusion Basic Physical Optics Experiments and Applications, a new seminar jointly run by College of Instrument Science and Opto-electronics Engineering, Info Crops-Lighting, and Suzhou Huanglun Seminary of System Education Co., Ltd., started in Shahe Campus. Delivered by senior engineers of Info Crops-Lighting, the Seminar attracted BISTU students and faculties as well as practitioners of physical optics.

Fundamental Thinking: Systematic construction of simulation

An introduction to Info Crops-Lighting provided learners with a thorough understanding of background and technologies required for the Seminar.

The first training session focused on core functions of VirtualLab Fusion platform, analysis of the overall software architecture, the principle and application of non-sequential field tracing, parameter scan and optimization methods, and the modeling and analysis of key diffraction phenomena in optical systems.

Advanced Training: connections between theories and practices

The second training session covered interferometer design, analysis of polarization and crystal optical properties, and imaging system simulation. Learners completed a number of virtual experiments on optical scenarios via VirtualLab Fusion. The Seminar, based on VirtualLab Fusion, helped learners enhance their theoretical understanding of modern optics and motivate innovative thinking.

Exchange and Communication: motivation for academics and innovation

Active interaction of the seminar saw that engineers produced satisfactory answers to questions raised by learners on matters they have encountered in research or real-life work scenarios.

Dean Zhou Zhehai of College of Instrument Science and Opto-electronics Engineering organized a tour of the University Library to conclude the Seminar. Solid foundation has been laid for future cooperation. Learners commented that systematic training has enhanced their capabilities in software operation and strengthened their understanding of the application of physical optics.

College of Instrument Science and Opto-electronics Engineering has made significant progresses in deepening industry-research-learning cooperation. A number of high-quality talents with innovative competences and practical skills have been nurtured with the help from joint field practice bases and joint teaching modules.
