Abstract

Optics, photonics, and lasers are used in diverse industries, including aerospace manufacturing and R&D, biotechnology, medical devices manufacturing and R&D, health, communications and information technology, energy, precision machining, security, construction, research, and entertainment. This course exposes the student to applications of photonics within these industries, to instruments and techniques. By the end of the course, the student will have gained a practical appreciation of measurement, manufacturing, and application techniques along with the theory behind them. In this course the student will prepare for work in industry and research at a technical level. The student will also gain knowledge of some of the resources and references that can be used in order to get a deeper understanding of these or other applications.
