SUMMARY:Wyant College of Optical Sciences Colloquium: Jim Burge
DESCRIPTION:Join AOM President Dr. Jim Burge as he kicks off the University of Arizona OSC Colloquium series! \nOn Thursday\, September 4\, Jim will present “A Measured Life: 60 Years of Precision Metrology and Other Things.” Drawing on his decades of experience\, from groundbreaking optical engineering projects to leading a metrology business\, Jim will share a personal perspective on how measurement has driven innovation in optics. \nThe talk will be held in person in Meinel 307 and online via Zoom\, with a recording available afterward. \nFind out more or register for the Zoom webinar on the OSC website. \n  \n“A Measured Life: 60 Years of Precision Metrology and Other Things” Abstract: \nWe have all heard the saying “If you cannot measure it\, you cannot make it\,” for optical fabrication\, but it applies to most things where precision is required. The past decades have seen fantastic advancements in optical systems from astronomical telescopes that see to the edge of the universe to virtual reality systems that enable people to experience worlds that never exist. The new optical components and systems have required new ways to measure them. This talk gives a very personal journey into the field of optical engineering\, through some interesting projects\, and into the business world of optical metrology.
