The Laser Technology module is part of the continuing education program in Optics offered by the Jena Academy for Lifelong Learning (JenALL e. V.) in cooperation with the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences in Jena.
This continuing education course begins by providing an overview of the development of the laser andthe exploration of its applications, both past and future. To help participants understand how lasers work, theunderlying physical principlesareclearlypresented and explained. The course explores how laser light is actually generated, what is required for this process, and why it is so special. The operating conditions of lasers, the design of laser resonators, and the resulting optical properties areexamined and explained. In addition, various methods for generating laser pulsesare described. During the concluding lab session, the theoretical knowledge is applied in experiments and thereby reinforced.
Key Topics
- History of Laser Technology
- Fundamentals of Physics
- The Production of Laser Light
- Principle and Structure of the Laser
Date
Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences, Jena, September 8–9, 2026 (including a practicum on September 9, 2026)
Speaker
Dr. Andreas Patschger (Ilmenau University of Technology)
Target Audience
- Graduates of universities and universities of applied sciences who work, for example, in the optical industry, mechanical engineering, or the automotive sector.
- Anyone interested in gaining a clear introduction to the field of lasers or who would like to refresh their basic knowledge.
We gladly accept education vouchers.
After completing four modules from the continuing education program in optics, participants can earn the IHK Certificate in Optics.
