The main purpose of this project is to introduce research expertise to undergraduates through a design/research laboratory course. The design/research laboratory in which a broad-based, hands-on approach is taken enables the students to teach themselves either traditional or fiber optics systems, optoelectronics and Gaussian beams, or lasers and quantum electronics. The intention is to motivate students to continue in this new technology focussing on topics that intrigue them. A prototype with a minimum of equipment is currently in operation. Equipment to develop a full-scale laboratory from this prototype is provided. This development would double the size of existing facilities and student-handling capabilities. The key feature of the laboratory is the addition of an argon/dye laser and an optical multichannel analyzer which dramatically increases the substance of the experiments performed by the students. By operating year round (2 semesters and summer) at full implementation, the new laboratory can accommodate 100 students.

这个项目的主要目的是通过设计/研究实验课程向本科生介绍研究专业知识。设计/研究实验室采用广泛的实践方法，使学生能够自学传统或光纤系统，光电子学和高斯光束，或激光和量子电子学。这样做的目的是激励学生继续学习这项新技术，专注于他们感兴趣的主题。目前正在运行一个具有最少设备的原型机。提供了从这个原型开发一个全尺寸实验室的设备。这一发展将使现有设施的规模和学生处理能力增加一倍。该实验室的主要特点是增加了一个氩/染料激光器和一个光学多通道分析仪，这大大增加了学生进行实验的内容。通过全年（2个学期和夏季）的全面实施，新实验室可容纳100名学生。
