This course is designed to give the optical engineer or lens designer an introduction to the technologies and techniques of infrared optical materials, fabrication and testing. This knowledge will help the optical engineer understand which optical specifications/toler
ances lead to more cost effective optical components. Topics covered include conventional and newly developed infrared optical materials, traditional, CNC and novel optical fabrication technologies, surface testing and fabrication tolerances.
