Understanding Holograms 3
Fall 2021
From Lasers to Light Fields
In memory of Margaret Benyon
Course Curriculum
This is the third time I have offered this course and new material is being added all the time to keep this course current. I also invite special guests to join us for specific sessions. As some of the sessions from last year (which were all recorded on Ruzuku) included outstanding presentations from individuals who can't be with us this year. I am including recordings of those sessions. However, I will be with you live for the weekly classes.
You will find much supporting material on the Ruzuku site which is the place where you will also find recordings of the sessions (including the new recordings of sessions shortly after they occur).
