Graduate Teaching Assistant at the College of Optical Sciences for the following courses:Opti 600E: Diffractive Optical Elements: Fabrication and Testing (Fall 2015 and Fall 2016)Opti 380A: Intermediate Optics Laboratory (Fall 2016 and Fall 2018)Opti 505R: Diffraction and Interferometry (Spring 2018)

Design, fabrication, and testing of prototype diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for academic and industrial sponsors. DOE design in Zemax and matlab, including custom physical optics simulation programs. Fabrication of binary and grayscale DOEs using mask and maskless lithography as well as single point diamond turning. Other fabrication processes included etching, deposition, and soft lithography for pattern transfer. Interferometric testing and metrology as well as optical test bench construction to qualify DOE performance.
