Optical filters and their applications is the subject of the next Engineering Science lecture by Robert Sargent of JDS Uniphase on Thursday, March 15 from 4:30-5:15 p.m. in Salazar 2009A. The event is part of the Engineering Science
lecture series.
Sargent will review how optical coatings work and how they are made, and examine a number of the many applications where they find use. Such
coatings can be found on eyeglasses and digital cameras.
Sargent is currently the manager of process development for the custom optics group at JDS Uniphase where he has served in a wide variety of engineering and leadership roles for 17 years.
He received his bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley and continued to the University of Arizona where he received a doctorate in Optical Sciences.
The lecture series is sponsored by the Agilent Technologies Foundation under the SSU-Agilent Partnership Program.
