An Undergraduate Photonics Laboratory

这所学院有1200多名工程技术专业的学生和200多名工程科学专业的学生。该系正在升级适当课程的现代光学部分，引进用于激光研究的现有仪器。通过实验室实验，学生了解学习和使用激光的原理和测量技术。教学形式是传统实验室的形式，通过仔细的原型编写，确保学生最大限度地学习。该实验室以激光和信号传输的原理为中心。钛宝石和半导体激光器的使用为学生提供了学习这些原理的独特机会，同时也使用了最先进的技术。光纤通信信号的调制和解调以及声光和电光调制的实验练习与现有的实验室相结合，完成了一套适用于工程和技术专业学生的光子学实验。根据该计划开发的特定实验室应为其他实验室提供激光原理及其应用的模式。

This college has over 1,200 students in the engineering technologies and about 200 in engineering science. This department is upgrading the modern optics component of the appropriate courses by introducing current instrumentation for the study of lasers. Through laboratory experiments, students gain an understanding of the principles and measurement techniques involved in the study and use of lasers. The pedagogical format is that of a traditional laboratory, with careful prototyping leading to writeups that ensure maximum learning by the students. The laboratory centers around the principles of lasers and signal transmission. The use of Ti:Sapphire and Diode lasers affords the students the unique opportunity to study these principles while working with state-of-the-art technology. Laboratory exercises on the modulation and demodulation of signals for fiber-optic communication, and on the acousto-optic and electro-optic modulation, are combined with existing laboratories to complete the set of photonics laboratories applicable to both engineering and technology students. The particular laboratories developed under this program should provide a model for other laboratories on the principles of lasers and their application.
