OP-TEC, the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education, is a National Science Foundation (NSF) National Center of Excellence with the stated mission of promoting photonics education and assisting colleges around the country in developing and implementing educational programs that support expansion of this critical new technology.

As part of our efforts to provide faculty development in optics and photonics, OP-TEC will be offering a hybrid, online faculty development course. The course will cover OP-TEC’s Fundamentals of Light and Lasers. Each of the six modules will be taught online over a two-week period with a high level of self-paced instruction combined with an interactive component facilitated by e-mail exchanges and chat room discussions.

Fundamentals of Light and Lasers Modules:
Module 1: Nature and Properties of Light
Module 2: Optical Handling and Positioning
Module 3: Light Sources and Laser Safety
Module 4: Basic Geometrical Optics
Module 5: Basic Physical Optics
Module 6: Principles of Lasers

This online course is being offered at no charge to high school, community college and technical college faculty interested in teaching a basic photonics course. Participants who successfully complete the 12-week course and 3-day laboratory session will receive a certificate of completion from OP-TEC. Participants will also be awarded 9 CEUs.

Next course date: Starts September 20, 2010 ( 12-week course runs 9/20/10 - 12/10/10)
