Join us onsite for in-person training at Photonics West.
Created and taught by experts, SPIE courses are designed to expand professional knowledge and skills. Topics include optomechanics, AR/VR/MR/HMD, quantum, optical coherence tomography, optical systems design and more. Take what you learn in class and apply it directly to your work.
In this introductory course, instructor Daniel Vukobratovich will provide training needed for optical engineers to work with the mechanical features of optical systems.
