Lab 1 Introduction to Silicon Photonics Project Please go to the DRS Website and under the "Training" tab at the top, complete the "Laser Safety" training module. Print the certificate and bring it with you to the first lab. You will not be allowed to peform the labs without taking the training. If you have already done this training (but within the past 2 years), you may bring a copy of an existing certificate.
