As the days grow longer, so does our spring webinar schedule. This spring, there will be many opportunities to learn about the latest advancements and applications in photonics while you work at home. Optics, biophotonics, machine vision, and lighting technologies are some of the areas that we’ll be covering over the next few months. Webinars are free, registration is easy, and if you register and can’t attend the webinar, you can watch the recording, which is available the day after the live event.

Here is a list of upcoming webinars, with links to the registration form for each one. Webinars are presented by well-respected experts in the field. Most presenters have advanced degrees, many are members of SPIE and OSA, and all of them have a depth of experience in their field.

Getting Specific About Coating Specifications — NACL’s director of business development, Dan Fiore, will provide expert guidance on how to specify, test, and confirm that your optical coating needs are clearly stated and conveyed, and he will answer some of your most challenging coating questions.
