New Winds in Optics Design

Welcome to the New Winds in Optics Design seminar!

The event is bringing together photonics and optics enthusiastics within academia and industry to hear some of the latest news within optics design. The event encourages networking and discussions and you will be given the opportunity to see the photonics laboratories at the Center for Photonics Sciences. In case you cannot join on-site, the seminar can be also followed online through a link that will be sent after registration. The event is free of charge.
