Description
-
The Photonics Instructional Laboratory supports introductory and intermediate level courses in the MS in Photonics program. Four stations each have a vibration isolated optical table, HeNe and semiconductor lasers, fiber components and systems, electronic test equipment, and GPIB-connected PCs for LabVIEW data logging and instrument control. Shared equipment exists for experiments and demonstrations in interferometry, spectrometry, diffraction, holography, acoustic and electro-optic modulation, and optical spectrum analysis. A secure annex room houses two additional isolated tables, electronics and optical equipment to support thesis and senior design projects that require long-term setup of apparatus.
