Abstract

Fundamentals of Light and Lasers is the introductory course in the Certificate in Photonics and Lasers, and consists of a comprehensive study of photonics that provides the foundation required to prepare technicians in the areas of optics, electro-optics, lasers, and photonics. In this course, students will learn the basic physical principles of optics (geometric and physical optics) and in the lab they will develop the skills required to properly handle optical devices and components and to safely and efficiently manipulate laser beams.
