On March 24, 2026, an advanced professional course Laser Mechanics 2 took place within the Laser Training Centre (LTC), once again confirming the strong demand for practically oriented education in the field of laser technologies.
Building on the introductory level, the course provided participants with a deeper insight into the design and operation of opto-mechanical systems – from engineering calculations and materials to FEM analysis, as well as laboratory demonstrations and cooling solutions for laser systems.
A programme focused on practice
The full-day programme was designed to connect theoretical foundations with real-world applications:
- opto-mechanical systems (Karolina Macúchová)
- engineering calculations (Jan Heřmánek)
- laboratory demonstrations and cooling (Karolina Macúchová, Tomáš Tichý)
- materials for laser mechanics (Karolina Macúchová)
- FEM analysis and its practical use (Tomáš Tichý)
The course focused primarily on topics that directly influence the reliability, stability, and long-term operation of laser systems.
What participants say
Participant feedback confirms that the course met both expectations and the demands of a professional audience.
Overall, the course was rated very positively, and participants would clearly recommend it to their colleagues.
“A very informative and engaging training, unique within HiLASE.”
“A clear overview of the key aspects to consider when designing opto-mechanical systems.”
Participants particularly appreciated the clarity of the lectures, the expertise of the instructors, and the well-balanced combination of theory and practice.
The current course offering is available on the Laser Training Centre (LTC) website.
