Currently, the coating of materials, from the perspective of their functionalization and modification of physical and chemical properties, has been an important technological resource in the formation of added value of a product. Similarly, research into thin films has grown significantly, aiming to create new materials/structures for potential applications in several fields. All these concepts are based on the Micro and Nanostructured of thin films, using different techniques to obtain them. The proposed training (and innovative at national level) aims precisely to contribute to the qualification of professionals, at a scientific and technological level, in this area of activity.

With this micro-credential, participants will have the opportunity to explore different topics such as geometric optics, optical instruments, ray-traced simulation of optical systems, radiometry, photometry, color theory, optical sensors, and sensor networks, and to understand how they play crucial roles in people's everyday lives, driving technological advances that transform the way we interact with the world around us. Geometric optics is key to understanding how light behaves when passing through different material media and how images are formed, and is therefore essential in many practical applications, from vision correction with glasses to the design of lighting systems and cameras.
Optical instruments are now indispensable in a wide variety of fields, from medicine to astronomy, providing crucial information for accurate medical diagnoses, scientific analysis and the development of new technologies. The design of optical instruments must go through a simulation phase with ray tracing, allowing to predict their performance in advance and optimize their operation, reducing production costs.
