Workshops designed for people working in optical communications are held each year.  Three Workshops were held in March 2000.   They proved so popular that we have arranged extra dates for this year as follows:

These courses are at the leading edge of current developments in the industrial applications of laser technologies.  The combination of both speakers and delegates from a wide variety of backgrounds, drawn from industry, reserch and university laboratories, enables a thorough understanding to be achieved of both the subject area covered and the associated practtical application of specific techniques.
