                   Principals of Modern Optical Systems
                   ====================================

                          Intensive Short Course

                         Ross Priory, Loch Lomond.

                            11th-15th June 1990


                         University of Strathclyde

             Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering




There is currently a rapidly expanding interest in the use of optoelectronic 
systems and an increasing awareness of the far reaching possibilities that this 
technology affords. This short, intensive course will serve to introduce many 
of these exciting applications, from remote sensing to information processing, 
and will also equip the participants with sufficient knowledge of the 
underlying physical principles to permit them to approach detailed design and 
evaluation problems. 
The final day of the course is devoted to an experimental programme which will 
involve hands-on experience with optical systems. This will provide valuable 
exposure to optical laboratory procedures.

Who Should Attend.
==================

There are three main groups who would benefit from this course. These are 
technical managers who require a concise overview of the potential offered by 
the technology, coupled with an insight into the underlying physical 
principles; experienced in-service engineers who wish to concentrate their 
future efforts in the optoelectronics field and who would use the course as a 
starting point for more detailed work; and finally, newly employed graduates 
who wish to be introduced to this particular discipline with a view to 
undertaking research activity in an optoelectronics discipline

Although every effort will be made to make the course self-contained, some 
prior background up to degree level, or equivalent, in physics or electronic 
engineering, will obviously be advantageous.

Cost of the Course.
===================

The total cost of the five-day course, including both lecture and laboratory 
programmes, will be 810 pounds sterling.

The course fee includes all lecture notes and associated material, full board 
in shared accomodation at either Ross Priory itself or a local hotel, and all 
local transportation from either Central Glasgow or the airport.
