Abstract
This Optical Science course introduces the student to the basic physical concepts and lab techniques that will be required for the technical courses of the certificate program in Photonics and Lasers. This combines a lecture component and hands-on laboratories that provide the students with learning opportunities to build their technical skills in working with lasers and optical components. These skills have direct practical application in the areas of optics, lasers, photonics, and in fields such as biomedical equipment, manufacturing, defense, nanotechnology, and communications where photonics is an enabling technology.
