Establishment of an Applied Engineering Photonics Laboratory

该项目结合了应用工程光子学 实验室（AEPL）纳入现有的课程， 机械工程系。该项目使用 要求提供设备， 本科生在基本光学现象和 相关工程应用。主要设备 项目是（1）氩激光器，（2）光学台，（3） 定位部件，（4）光检测器，和（5）光学 件. 该设备服务于几个密切相关的 目的 主要应用是建立 与现有的光学原理平行的AEPL课程 测量教室课程。在新的实验室里 课程，本科生有机会 设置光学实验和进行光学 测量应用。该设备还将提供 现代光学仪器，将用于补充 现有的机械测量课程以及 独立实验室调查和本科生 在部门内进行的研究。

The project incorporates an Applied Engineering Photonics Laboratory (AEPL) into the existing curriculum of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The project uses the requested equipment to provide hands-on training of undergraduate students in fundamental optical phenomena and related engineering applications. The primary equipment for the project is (1) an argon laser, (2) an optical table, (3) positioning components, (4) light detectors, and (5) optical components. The equipment serves several closely related purposes. The primary application is in the establishment of an AEPL course to parallel the existing Principles of Optical Measurements classroom course. In the new laboratory curriculum, undergraduate students have the opportunity of setting up optical experiments and of performing optical measurement applications. The equipment will also provide modern optical instrumentation that will be used to supplement the existing Mechanical Measurements course as well as independent laboratory investigations and undergraduate research that is conducted within the department.
