Associate of Applied Science Degree in Photonics Technology
Certificate in Photonics Technology
The program is designed to expose students to four major areas:
laser systems
electronics
optics
electro-optics
Students study the laser both as an instrument and as an integral part of a system designed for industrial application.
The program covers topics such as laser alignment, safety and the use of lasers in electronics production, testing and maintenance.
Through the program, students acquire a good working knowledge of light, geometrical and physical optics, optical components and optical systems.
In addition, students receive in-depth classroom preparation in the scientific principles of laser and fiber optics to incorporate their skills and knowledge into developing electro-optical techniques and systems.
A primary emphasis of the curriculum is to provide graduates with extensive hands-on training in the scientific procedures and applications utilized by laser and fiber optic companies and research laboratories.
