Short Course in Applied Optics for College Teachers

项目概述：本课程向25名本科教师讲授光学在工程中的原理和应用。讲座、演示、动手实验室实验和项目相结合，代表了这一拟议增强计划的核心。与会者将收到一套准备好的笔记，内容涉及大多数主题，包括傅立叶分析、衍射理论、干涉测量、几何光学、光纤光学、全息术、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。学员将对最新的光学设备和相关仪器有丰富的工作经验，其中大部分是由计算机控制的。奥克兰大学拥有卓越的应用光学设施，这将使参与者能够与现代仪器一起工作。此外，现有的最新设备将从制造商和供应商那里借来，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本国机构实施应用光学项目和实验室实验。

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.
