Applied optics training

People who don't have to design (specify, test, ...) optical systems but are working in projects with optics together with optical designers and want to know more about optical principles, will benefit from this application-oriented course.  By learning the ‘optical language’ and understanding the principles of optical systems, non-optical engineers are able to collaborate more effectively with their optical expert team members. This makes the whole system engineering team more successful.

This training is available for open enrollment as well as for in-company sessions. For in-company sessions, the Applied optics training can be adapted to your situation and special needs.

After having attended the course, the participant:

• knows the ‘optical language’,
• understands the basic principles of optical systems: light, rays, waves, reflection, transmission, refraction, diffraction, scattering, absorption, polarization,
• knows how various optical systems work (magnifying glass, telescope, microscope, spectrometer, interferometer),
• knows the basics of various light sources and detectors, and of illumination and detection.
• knows various optical test and measurement methods,
• knows how optics play a role in lithography,
• is able to collaborate more effectively with the optical expert team members in an optical design project.

This course is intended for people with a non-optical background (e.g. electronics, mechanics, chemistry), who work in projects with optics and want to increase their level of understanding of optical principles and applications. Technical college/university level.
