"Laboratory Optics: The Science of Light": Dive into the fascinating world of light in this hands-on, one-week course where you'll explore the branch of physics that illuminates both the everyday and the extraordinary. Discover how light behaves as both a wave and a particle, and learn why it’s a key tool for understanding everything from distant galaxies to tiny microbes. You’ll experiment with lasers and investigate phenomena like diffraction, interference, refraction, and polarization. Plus, explore cutting-edge applications of optics in modern fiber communication and quantum technologies. If you’re curious about how light shapes our world—and our future—this course is for you!
LUNCH: Students staying for full day or for both morning and afternoon sessions can bring or buy their lunch. All students will eat lunch on Campus in The Commons, a small food court.
