Improving and Modernizing Instrumentation for the Advanced Laboratory

先进的实验室序列为学生提供各种 最终目标;研究生院，工业就业和 教学 因此，各种各样的实验和 在这个序列中使用教学模式。 保证质量 在现代社会快速发展的背景下， 仪器，我们必须增加实验，让学生 （i）产生大量数据的测量 需要详细分析，（二）是现代的例子 技术，（三）需要比敷衍了事 与计算机的互动。 购买射频设备和 数字示波器将使脉冲核磁共振和第二声 实验，以产生大容量，高质量的数据。 购买 光纤组件和某些附件， 现有的高真空薄膜蒸发器将使 实验的发展说明了现代 光纤、薄膜制造和薄膜技术 性能和真空技术。 购买PC将允许 一些实验的自动化，傅立叶的引入 转换技术，并增加学生对数据的访问 分析设施。 购买逻辑分析仪， 实验机接口的严格检验 要求.

The advanced laboratory sequence serves students having a variety of final goals; graduate school, industrial employment and teaching. Accordingly, a wide variety of experiments and teaching modes are used in this sequence. To ensure the quality of this sequence in a context of rapid developments in modern instrumentation, we must add experiments that expose the students to measurements which: (i) produce large volumes of data requiring detailed analysis, (ii) are examples of modern technologies, and (iii) require more than a perfunctory interaction with computers. Purchase of rf equipment and digital oscilloscopes will enable pulsed NMR and second-sound experiments to produce large-volume, high-quality data. Purchase of fiber optics components and certain accessories for an existing high-vacuum thin film evaporator will enable the development of experiments illustrating aspects of the modern technologies of fiber optics, thin film fabrication and thin-film properties, and vacuum techniques. Purchase of PC's will permit the automation of some experiments, the introduction of Fourier transform techniques, and increase student access to data analysis facilities. Purchase of logic analyzers permits a critical examination of experiment-computer interfacing requirements.
