Start your journey as a laser system designer. This course will provide you with the essential knowledge required to design laser components or reliably integrate laser systems:
- Precision mechanics and positioning
- Fundamentals of vacuum technology and principles of designing vacuum-compatible components
- Cooling technologies and thermal management
Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss design solutions based on their own professional practice.
DATE: 24 March 2026
PRICE: CZK 12,300 excl. VAT per person
Course participants will receive a certificate of completion.
Language of instruction: Czech
Who Should Attend
The course is suitable for expanding the knowledge of technicians and junior designers, graduates of secondary schools and universities with a mechanical or engineering focus, or as retraining for specialization in laser mechanics design.
Interested participants may register until 16 March 2026.
