Diploma Program Offered for Photonics Professionals

EP3, the Education Program for Photonics Professionals, is a series of six courses, each eight weeks long, for working scientists and engineers who require core educational background in optics and photonics. Designed and taught by faculty of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, the university-level courses cover optical design, physical optics, lasers and electro-optics, optical communications, and radiometry and photometry. The curriculum is based on an analysis of industry needs with input from an industrial advisory board. The full program can be completed in 18 to 24 months with part-time study on campus or via Internet conferencing. Participants successfully completing all courses receive a university diploma. A new session begins in January. Visit Web address ep3.uwaterloo.ca for full information.

Glossary

electro-optics: 1. The branch of physics that deals with the use of electrical energy to create or manipulate light waves, generally by changing the refractive index of a light-propagating material; 2. Collectively, the devices used to affect the intersection of electrical energy and light. Compare with optoelectronics.
optical communications: The transmission and reception of information by optical devices and sensors.
photometry: Photometry is the branch of science that deals with the measurement of light, particularly in terms of its intensity and the way the human eye perceives it. It involves the quantification of visible light and its characteristics, such as brightness and color. Photometric measurements often consider the spectral sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light and use standardized units to express light intensity. In astronomy, photometry is used to study the brightness of...
physical optics: The branch of science that treats light as a wave phenomenon wherein light propagation is studied by wavefronts rather than rays, as in geometric optics.
radiometry: Ratiometry is a technique used in various scientific fields, particularly in analytical chemistry and biochemistry, to measure concentrations or quantities by comparing the intensity of two different signals or responses. In ratiometry, instead of relying on absolute values of signals, researchers utilize the ratio of two signals or responses obtained from a sample. This ratio is often less affected by factors such as variations in sample volume, instrument settings, or environmental...
