About the course

Optics is the branch of physics that utilizes both simple and sophisticated instruments to study, measure and influence how photons propagate through and interact with matter. The field of optics is critical to the technology found in our modern lives - computers, smartphones, medical equipment and many other 21st century amenities we often take for granted. Optical engineers and scientists use their technical knowledge to develop and operate metrology tools (instruments designed to take high-precision, non-contact measurements). These tools are used in applications ranging from the life sciences to the semiconductor industry, to build laser writing and cutting tools that revolutionize our ability to mass manufacture advanced technology, and contribute to cutting edge research and development activities impacting the fields of medicine, defense, microelectronics, and astronomical observation.
