Modern Optics Equipment for Undergraduate Laboratories

阿巴拉契亚州立大学将升级光学实验室， 本科教育 现代光学实验室将 为高级课程光学和光电学配备仪器。 的 本课程实验部分将包括传统实验 在几何和物理光学，但将强调当代 光学科学的主题，如激光，光纤通信， 全息技术 实验室工作的一个重要部分将 在选定的实验中，使用微型计算机进行数据处理， 采集和仪器控制以及数据分析。 的 计算机硬件和一些必要的光学设备已经 被收购。 所有的实验都是设计和开发的 并尽可能利用手头有限的设备进行测试。 一些经典的光学实验，目前在现有的 高级物理实验室课程也将升级， 补充或替换一些较旧的一种设备， 现代设备。 科学和预科入门课程 工程专业和其他专业也将通过该项目得到改善。

Appalachian State University will upgrade optics laboratories for undergraduate instruction. A modern optics laboratory will be instrumented for a senior-level course, Optics and Optoelectronics. The laboratory component of this course will include traditional experiments in geometrical and physical optics but will emphasize contemporary topics in optical science such as lasers, fiber optic communication, and holographic techniques. An important part of the laboratory work will be the use, in selected experiments, of microcomputers for data acquisition and instrument control as well as for data analysis. The computer hardware and some of the necessary optics equipment has already been acquired. All of the experiments have been designed and developed and, to the extent possible, tested with the limited equipment on hand. A number of classical optics experiments currently performed in existing upper-level physics laboratory courses will also be upgraded by supplementing or replacing some older one-of-a-kind apparatus with present generation equipment. Introductory courses for science and pre- engineering majors and others will also be improved by the project.
