Infotech Oulu workshop 2002 on optoelectronic devices and instrumentation

Infotech Oulu workshop 2002 on optoelectronic devices and instrumentation will be organized in May 27-30, 2002. Two intensive courses are offered. The intensive courses are lectured in English and are intended for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students with some background in optics and optoelectronics devices.

The workshop is closely associated with, and funded by, the Infotech Oulu Graduate School and Graduate School of Modern Optics and Photonics (Joensuu). Students of these graduate schools receive three credit points (3 cr.) by successfully passing the course, but the participation is open to everybody.

At the end of the workshop a final examination is arranged for graduate students, who are required to read the preparatory material delivered in advance. Financial support is available to the students of the graduate schools.

Intensive courses

I) Science and Technology of Molecular and Polymeric Based Nano-Thick Photonics: Organic Light-Emitting Devices (May 27-28) - Prof. Ghassan E. Jabbour, Optical Sciences Center, The University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

II) Optical Coherence Tomography: Principles, Problems and Perspectives (May 29-30) - Prof. Igor Gurov Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics (Technical University), Saint Petersburg, Russia

Workshop consists of approximately 25 lecture hours and a final examination. A recreational social program, which also aims at promoting discussions with instructors and between graduate optics students working in different universities, is an integral part of the workshop.

At the end of the workshop a final examination is arranged for graduate students, who are required to read the preparatory material delivered in advance. Financial support is available to the students of the graduate schools.
