I found this very informative and think others may enjoy it too.
The videos are streamed from the site using an RM file. I opened them in VLC media player.

The first lecture is very basic, best for people new to lasers. The 2nd lecture is when things start getting good with lab demonstrations and explanations.

MIT OCW is a great tool for learning about all sorts of things. I use it all the time.
