OPSC 103 Lasers and Applications II - Laboratory

This second Laser Systems and Applications course will introduce the student to the theory and practice of four of the most common types of lasers (diode, Argon-Ion, Nd:YAG and CO2), and to the topic of integration of laser systems. At the end of the course, the student will understand the principles of laser operation, safety guidelines, measurement of output beam characteristics, and applications. This will allow the student to understand and operate lasers in research, commercial, and industrial settings, and will give him or her the skills to choose appropriate laser systems and the knowledge to setup, operate, and understand their value as part of more complex integrated systems.
