| This talk will provide a description and introduction of how the physics of optics gets applied in real world problems, including interesting details of polarization phenomena. We will also look at the long, twisting and unusual road to establishing a cutting edge leading technology company in Colorado which employs a wide range of scientists including all levels of physicists. Finally I will share with you some insights into the career of a physics student gone bad. | |
