This course might be of interest to you or someone in your company who is interested in teaching the basics of photonics. Or perhaps you know a faculty member in a local high school or technical school who you would like to encourage to teach the fundamentals of light and lasers to help interest students in science and in our field in particular. There is no charge for the online course, but participants are responsible for their travel expenses for the 3-day lab course. Full details in the message below.
