CAPT 1020: Handling, Cleaning
& Inspecting Optics Course Description This 4 hour offers an overview of the basic "do's, don'ts and how "to's" involved in working with optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and optical flats with optical coatings. Handling connectorized fibers will also be covered. Practical knowledge and skills in handling, cleaning and inspection will be emphasized. Attendee's will learn how to handle and store optics without damaging them or contaminating their surfaces. An introduction to various optical mounting techniques will be introduced. There will also be "HANDS ON" exposure in how to inspect surfaces for scratch/dig per MIL-C-1897A and MIL-O-13830A, and how to recognize contamination. Other optical and non-optical inspection technologies will be introduced. Proper surface cleaning will be taught through "HANDS ON" learning, along with a review of available solvents for optics cleaning. The instructor will review which solvent to employ in which circumstance. This course is available as an on site presentation subject to minimum attendance requirements. Who Should Attend This course is intended for laser and optic assemblers, technicians and their supervisors who are required to inspect, assemble and align optics as part of their normal work tasks.
