2003 SUMMER SCHOOL June 16 – June 27, 2003
In 2003, The Institute of Optics offered its 42nd annual Summer School short-course series. This year’s offering was a mix of one-week courses and two-and-a-half-day courses.
1. Fundamentals of Optics (with labs) covering lenses, aberrations, principles of diffraction, optical systems, polarization, birefringence and crystal optics, and radiometry and detection. June 16-18, 2003
2. Lasers and Optoelectronics (with labs) covering basics of lasers, laser systems, and modern laser engineering, nonlinear optics, and semiconductor lasers, LED’s, and detectors. June 18-20, 2003
3. Modern Optical Engineering (with labs) covering optical testing and instrumentation, optical manufacturing, optical thin film coatings, diffractive optics, and glass in modern optics. June 23-25, 2003
4. Fiber Optics (with labs) covering fundamentals of optical waveguides, applications of fiber optics, fiber-optic devices, fiber lasers and amplifiers, and optical communications. June 25-27, 2003
5. Biomedical Optics covers diffusion models of photon propagation in multiply-scattering tissues applications of photon migration: tumor detection and brain monitoring spectroscopic methods for glucose sensing and other analyte detection tissue alteration: photodynamic therapy and LASIK high-resolution imaging: confocoal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, and optical coherence tomography. June 16-18, 2003
6. Optical Thin Film Coating Technology covers all aspects of optical interference devices including thin-film design, digital design methods, and coating and characterization. June 16-20, 2003
