Enhancement of the Modern Optics Laboratories at Miami University

9452517赖斯迈阿密大学物理系致力于为学生提供现代光学方面的学术经验，强调理论、实验和应用方面。有了这笔赠款中要求的设备，我们希望扩展我们的能力，将非线性光学效应和高分辨率光谱学纳入我们的实验室。在《光学与激光物理》课程中，提出了关于激光的二次谐波产生、相位共轭、图像处理和AM调制的实验。此外，我们希望获得低成本的激光二极管，以开发更多的原子光谱实验室，具有比我们设施现有的更高的分辨率。例如，利用光栅反馈来获得窄线宽，这些二极管为研究超精细结构提供了一种低成本的方法。本文提出的设备采购所产生的实验室实验将为本科生提供激光和光谱应用、概念和技术方面的经验，这些应用、概念和技术处于全国现代光学实验室研究的前沿。

9452517 Rice The Physics department at Miami University is committed to providing scholarly experience for students in modern optics, stressing theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects. With the equipment requested in this grant, we wish to extend our capabilities to include nonlinear optical effects and high resolution spectroscopy into our laboratories. In the Optics and Laser Physics course experiments dealing with second-harmonic generation, phase conjugation, image processing, and AM modulation of laser beams are proposed. Also, we wish to obtain low cost laser diodes to develop more atomic spectroscopy labs, with higher resolution than presently available at our facility. With grating feedback to obtain narrow linewidths, these diodes present a low- cost method to investigate hyperfine structure for example. The laboratory experiments resulting from the equipment acquisition proposed herein would provide undergraduates experience with laser and spectroscopic applications, concepts, and techniques in the forefront of research that are utilized in modern optics laboratories across the nation.
