Introduction to Lasers: Science, Technology, Specifications and Applications
Introduction to Lasers: Science, Technology, Specifications and Applications is a Continuing Professional Development short course being run:
- Half day Monday 19th April 2010 and
- 2 Days Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st April 2010
At the Wolfson Centre, Institute of Photonics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow city centre campus.
The first half day is a general introduction and is suitable for all members of staff. This may be taken alone or as the start of the whole 2.5 days.
The 2 day course goes into greater depth, and would be suitable for non-specialist laser industry employees who have a basic understanding of lasers (and also for those who have previously attended the half day course) for example: operations, sales, marketing, quality, general management. It is not intended for R and D staff working in optics. It would be beneficial for mechanical, electronic or software R and D staff.
The objective of the course is to give all employees in the laser and photonics industry a full appreciation of the science, technology, products and applications that bring so much value to your companies and your customers.
Aims of the course are to give an understanding of what a laser is, how it works, the different types of laser, what attributes are important to different applications/customers and how to read a spec sheet; the applications of lasers, the science behind the laser, the many types of laser, their applications, the many special formats of laser and what specifications are important to your customers and why.
