Laser and Spectroscopy Teaching Laboratory

这个新的激光与光谱学实验室的主要目标是加强中级和高级实验室实验，以弥合强大的入门课程实验室和所需的高级研究项目之间的差距。本计画包括对现代物理导论课程和大三高级物理实验室的实验室实验进行全面修订。高级实验室必须涵盖电学与磁学、现代光学和固态物理等主题。目前的项目集中在两个中间实验课程的光学和光谱学方面。主题是一个由四个实验多用途站组成的激光与光谱学教学实验室。在这样的实验室中，强调光学具有教学上的优势。这些实验也将加强学生对他们的高级研究项目的准备。每个实验站的组件在整合到新实验室之前，由高年级学生和教师组装、测试和评估。一些现有的设备将被并入新的实验室。

The primary goal of this new Lasers & Spectroscopy Laboratory is to strengthen the intermediate and advanced laboratory experiments so as to bridge the gap between strong introductory course laboratories and required senior research projects. This project involves the overhaul of laboratory experiments for the Introduction to Modern Physics course and the Advanced Physics Laboratory for juniors. The advanced laboratory must cover topics in Electricity & Magnetism, Modern Optics, and Solid State Physics. The current project concentrates on the optics and spectroscopy aspects of the two intermediate laboratory courses. The theme is a lasers and spectroscopy teaching laboratory consisting of four experimental multi- purpose stations. An emphasis on optics has pedagogical advantages in such a laboratory. The experiments will also strengthen the preparation of students for their senior research project. Components for each of the experimental stations are being assembled, tested, and evaluated by senior students and faculty prior to their integration into the new laboratories. Some existing equipment will be incorporated into the new laboratory.
