Spark course: Optics for Aerospace

Course description: In this course, we will give an overview of the application of modern optics in the aerospace. A simple ray-tracing simulation for James Webb telescope will be presented and discussed. In addition, we will show our own works in using laser to enhance materials, such as laser shock peening for airfoils.
