This course
will emphasize the concepts, techniques, and apparatus used in
measuring laser parameters and will include a visit to NIST laser
measurement laboratories. The most comprehensive seminar of its
type, this course is ideal for those who need to understand the
characteristics of lasers and laser measurements or who are responsible
for laser systems. The seminar is taught by laser experts from
NIST, and industry. It is intended to meet the needs of metrologists,
scientists, engineers, laboratory technicians, educators, managers,
and planners involved in the use of laser systems. A degree in
physics or engineering or equivalent experience is assumed, and
some experience in the use of lasers is desirable.
