SUMMARY:OSSC October Meeting & Technical Presentation by Dr. Jim Burge
DESCRIPTION:Join the Optical Society of Southern California (OSSC) this October for an insightful technical presentation by AOM president\, Dr. Jim Burge! Dr. Burge will be sharing his talk\, “Precision Measurement of Aspheric Optical Surfaces – A Personal Journey from University Research to Industry.” Discover the fascinating evolution of precision metrology as Dr. Burge takes us through his experiences\, from groundbreaking university research to the latest innovations in the optical industry. Read on for the abstract and Dr. Burge’s bio! \nAbstract:\nThe manufacture of complex aspheric optical surfaces is limited by the ability to measure them. The mirrors in giant telescopes that are now operational on mountaintops and space were enabled by advances in measurement technology including applications of computer-generated holograms (CGHs). These measurement techniques are now used to guide the finishing of a wide range of complex surfaces and optical systems. This talk follows the story of specialized measurement technologies that grew up as university research to a mature state where they have become commonplace in industry. \nBio:\n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Jim Burge is President of AOM – Arizona Optical Metrology\, a small company started in 2009 that manufactures computer-generated holograms and incorporates them into measuring equipment\, and Professor Emeritus of Optics and Astronomy at the University of Arizona. Dr. Burge started his adventure in optics at Ohio State University earning a BS in Engineering Physics and working as a mechanical engineer building stabilized platforms for optical systems. From there he went to the University of Arizona to learn about the optical systems themselves. He worked as a research scientist for the astronomy department for nearly a decade — working on telescopes\, instruments\, and large mirror manufacture — and earned a PhD. in optics along the way. He then pursued a career in academia as a Professor of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona\, performing research and teaching in optomechanics\, optical systems engineering\, and optical testing. He also served as advisor for many companies that build optical systems and government organizations that use them. Dr. Burge led the development of measurement systems for a wide range of projects\, including mirrors and lenses for the world’s most powerful telescopes. Dr. Burge since graduated from the University and applies his energy to industry\, leading AOM to develop custom metrology systems that support a wide range of applications from precision machining to consumer optics to space telescopes. He is a Fellow of SPIE and Optica and a 2011 recipient of the OSA Fraunhofer-Burley Award which recognizes significant research accomplishments in the field of optical engineering.\n		\n			\n		\n\nDetails:\nThe presentation will be available in person\, with an optional dinner for a fee\, or for free as an online webinar. To register\, visit the OSSC website.

SUMMARY:CGH Master Class - Fall 2024
DESCRIPTION:Become a CGH Guru with 3 days of hands-on learning in Tucson!\nThe CGH Master Class from AOM is a 3-day in-person course designed for engineers\, technicians\, department managers\, and other stakeholders in optical fabrication industries who could benefit from the power of computer-generated hologram (CGH) metrology in their operation. Participants will gain understanding and confidence in CGH test specification\, setup\, data reduction\, and implementation nuances\, as well as the breadth of applications CGHs can address (hint\, it isn’t just for surface figure testing). With the skills and understanding that the AOM CGH Master Class will provide\, participants will be able to leverage the many advantages of CGH metrology to improve efficiency and precision in a range of optics fabrication settings. \nPhoto Credit: Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star \nWe are thrilled to host our upcoming CGH Master Class at the beautiful\, state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing Center at Pima Community College’s Downtown Campus. This cutting-edge facility provides the perfect environment for an exceptional learning experience. We feel incredibly fortunate to collaborate with Pima Community College\, an institution that shares our commitment to excellence in education and professional development. This partnership allows us to offer our attendees a top-notch experience in a setting that is both functional and inspirational. \nRegistration is now open; be sure to secure your spot to become a CGH Guru this fall!
