13 - 14 May 2008 - Introduction to Optical Thin Films - OpTICVenue: OpTIC, St. Asaph, North Wales, UK
This two-day course aims to provide a background to techniques used by the optical thin film coating engineer to arrive at robust designs for most commonly encountered coating types. In addition to the design sessions, many practical aspects relating to the manufacture and testing of coatings will be covered in both tutorial and hands-on situations.
This course is intended for technicians, engineers, and students who need to understand the basic theoretical and practical aspects of the design and manufacture of optical coatings.
