Course Description: As the first class in the Precision Optics pathway this course introduces and unpacks the elements of the industry; while you learn the basic habits, precautions, and processes to safely and successfully work in a manufacturing environment. You will operate machines and create precision lenses, flats, and prisms. Along with machining skills you will also learn the surfacing, blocking, grinding, polishing, and edging processing skills necessary as an entry level Precision Optics Technician. Also in this course, you will learn how to use basic measuring equipment gauges, test plates, and interferometers to verify part dimensions.
0118 - Precision Optics II Credits: 1.0 Course Credit Prerequisite: 3315 - Precision Optics I
Course Description: In this course, you will further develop the skills learned in Precision Optics I as well as an introduction to the process for designing optical systems, including industry-standard design software. You will manufacture lenses, prisms, and mirrors and will put several elements together to create a specific optical system that meets specifications from a blue print. There will be opportunities to use the milling and coating machines to create novel lenses and mirrors. The use of 3-D printing is introduced so that students may generate their own barrels and housings for optical systems.
