Short Course in Applied Optics for College Teachers

项目概述：本课程向25名本科教学人员介绍了光学的原理和工程应用。讲座演示，动手实验室实验和项目的混合物，代表了这个拟议的增强计划的核心。将向学员提供一套准备好的关于所涉及的大多数主题的笔记，包括傅里叶分析、衍射理论、干涉测量、几何光学、纤维光学、全息照相术、光弹性、剪切照相术、莫尔方法、光学数据处理方法、无损检测和数字图像处理。 参加者将有密集的工作经验与最新的光学设备和相关仪器，其中大部分是计算机控制的。奥克兰大学拥有优秀的应用光学设施，这将使参与者能够使用现代仪器。此外，将从制造商和供应商那里借用最新的设备，并在奥克兰的实验室安装，供参与者使用。作为后续工作，研究人员将协助参与者在其所在机构实施应用光学计划和实验室实验。

Project Summary: This course presents 25 undergraduate teaching faculty with the principles and applications of optics in engineering. A mixture of lectures demonstrations, hands-on laboratory experiments and projects, represents the core of this proposed enhancement program. Participants will be provided with a prepared set of notes on most topics which will be covered, including Fourier analysis, diffraction theory, interferometry, geometrical optics, fiber optics, holography, photoelasticity, shearography, Moir methods, optical data processing methods, nondestructive testing, and digital image processing. Participants will have intensive work experience with the latest in optical equipment and related instrumentation, much of which is computer controlled. Oakland University possesses outstanding applied optics facilities, which will enable participants to work with the modern instrumentation. In addition, the very latest equipment available will be borrowed from manufacturers and suppliers and set-up in Oakland's laboratories for participant use. As a follow-on effort, the investigators will assist the participants to implement applied optics programs and laboratory experiments at their home institutions.
