The Georgia Tech Laser Alignment Training is designed to teach specific skills related to mitigating laser hazards commonly encountered during the alignment of optics. Attendees will learn how to safely align a variety of optics, some with visible and with invisible beams. The optics used include flat mirrors, a wedge window, irises, a beam splitter cube, flipper mirror assembly, periscope assembly, and a telescope assembly using plano convex and plano concave lenses. This training is comprised of six exercises and will last approximately 3 hours. This course is optional but strongly encourage for those involved in the alignment of optical beam paths for Class 3B and 4 lasers.
