Join us for this month's #SPIE Education Webinar on 26 March. We will hear from Italo Toselli of TurbOttica LLC. He will explain optical turbulence, how it is statistically described, and how it affects the propagation of laser beams.

Sign up for free here: spie-org.zoom.us/web...
The background features a colorful gradient with shades of blue, green, and red. The top left corner has the SPIE COURSES logo in white and red text. Below, it reads "Education Webinar Series" in white text. On the right side is a headshot of a person with the name "Italo Toselli" and "TurbOttica LLC" written below it in white text. At the bottom, there is a title in bold white text: "Optical Turbulence and Its Impact on Laser Beam Propagation." Below this title, it states the date and time of the webinar: "26 March 2025 at 10:00 AM PT."
