Modern Instrumentation for Advanced Laboratories

将为两个先进的实验室购置新的电子和光学仪器。这将包括用于计算机控制、数字数据采集、数据存储和数据处理的设备，用于几种不同的现代物理实验，涉及混沌、光速、超导、原子能状态、光干涉和衍射。随着所提出的脉冲YAG和可调谐连续波二极管激光系统的获得，将为学生打开一个与激光相关的全新物理实验领域。将介绍非线性光学、Q开关、连续波和脉冲激光操作、二极管激光模式结构、分子光谱、相干长度等方面的新实验。介绍光纤实验，包括单模和多模传播、模式结构和数据传输。该设备是最先进的，为学生提供了利用现代测量能力研究当前感兴趣的重要物理现象的机会。

New electronic and optical instrumentation will be acquired for two advanced laboratories. This will include equipment for computer control, digital data acquisition, data storage, and data treatment in several different modern physics experiments involving chaos, the speed of light, superconductivity, atomic energy states, and optical interference and diffraction. A whole new field of laser related physics experiments will be opened for students with the acquisition of the proposed pulsed YAG and the tunable CW diode laser systems. New experiments in non-linear optics, Q switching, CW and pulsed laser operation, diode laser mode structure, molecular spectroscopy, coherence length and others will be introduced. Fiber optics experiments involving single and multimode propagation, mode structure, and data transmission will be introduced. The equipment is state of the art and presents students with the opportunity to employ modern measurement capabilities in studying important physical phenomena of current interest.
