The course TECHNOLOGY OF OPTICAL PRODUCTION gives a comprehensive summary of optical production, its specific features concerning finishing of glass and crystallic materials inclusive of the general principles for putting free optics into sleeves, tubes and other mechanical holders. The course is divided into parts according to natural sequence of production, properties and control of optical glass, brushing and polishing substances, optical machines and instruments, production of spherical and aspherical surfaces, specific features of production of precise planar and prism optics, serial production of spectacles lenses, workshop control of optical surfaces and output control of finished optical elements and systems including vacuum evaporation of reflective and anti-reflective coatings. Lessons will be supplemented with a detailed educational audiovisual programme regarding contemporary optical production, or by an all-day excursion to the company MEOPTA-Optika, Přerov, a member of TCI group.
