Field Guide to Optics Education


Book Description

"The past two decades have seen significant innovation in teaching methods for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This innovation has been driven by development of new educational technologies and methods that were accelerated in 2020 and 2021 by the explosion of remote teaching due to COVID-19. The teaching of optics, being a highly specialized STEM field, has much in common with other areas, but has its own unique challenges. This volume explores individual experiences with the development of methods and their application to the teaching of optics, especially in higher education. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor John Greivenkamp, who passed away in early 2022 and was among the best known and most passionate educators of optics in the world."--

Harnessing Light


Book Description

Optical science and engineering affect almost every aspect of our lives. Millions of miles of optical fiber carry voice and data signals around the world. Lasers are used in surgery of the retina, kidneys, and heart. New high-efficiency light sources promise dramatic reductions in electricity consumption. Night-vision equipment and satellite surveillance are changing how wars are fought. Industry uses optical methods in everything from the production of computer chips to the construction of tunnels. Harnessing Light surveys this multitude of applications, as well as the status of the optics industry and of research and education in optics, and identifies actions that could enhance the field's contributions to society and facilitate its continued technical development.
