Sira Test and Certification has formed an alliance to offer a one-stop shop facility for customers who are manufacturing electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas.
Both courses are also available separately, either for delegates who only need to acquire a background knowledge from the introductory course, or for engineers who already have a basic understanding of the principles involved and need to be aware of more advanced techniques.
The course on advanced topics will be of particular interest to mechanical, optical and systems engineers working in the aerospace industry.
On the three-day introductory course, Daniel Vukobratovich - a senior engineer at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories, Tucson, USA, and previously a research scientist at the University of Arizona - and Jonathan Maxwell, who works on optical design and optical engineering for zoom and fixed focal length lens systems for cinematography with Cooke Optics Ltd in Leicester, and a lectures on lens design at Imperial College, will relate the theory of optical systems to practical applications.
On the following one-day course on advanced topics, Vukobratovich will lead discussions on methods of solving opto-mechanical design problems.
Vukobratovich's particular areas of expertise include ultra-lightweight optics, vibration control and advanced optical-mounting techniques.
Topics covered by the introductory course include optical specifications, design and tolerancing; optical materials; opto-mechanical design; and lens and mirror mounting.
Advanced topics also include deflection control, dynamic optics and mirror design.
