A webcast on April 27 will provide an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of tolerancing and testing for surface roughness and mid-spatial frequency errors. These factors affect all elements of the optics fabrication process--from design to manufacturing.

Nashua, NH--A webcast on April 27 will provide an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of tolerancing and testing for surface roughness and mid-spatial frequency errors. These factors affect all elements of the optics fabrication process--from design to manufacturing. This webcast will be presented by Jessica DeGroote Nelson, who is Research and Development Manager, Optimax Systems (Ontario, NY).

This webcast is hosted by Laser Focus World senior editor John Wallace. It is one in a series of educational webcasts presented by the Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster, which is a not-for-profit organization founded to promote the photonics, optics and imaging industries in New York.
