An Undergraduate Photonics Laboratory

这所学院有1200多名工程技术专业的学生和约200名工程科学专业的学生。本系通过引进最新的激光研究仪器，提高了相关课程的现代光学成分。通过实验室实验，学生可以了解激光研究和使用的原理和测量技术。教学形式是传统的实验室，通过仔细的原型设计来撰写论文，以确保学生最大限度地学习。这个实验室主要研究激光和信号传输的原理。使用钛蓝宝石和二极管激光器为学生提供了一个独特的机会，在使用最先进的技术的同时学习这些原理。关于光纤通信信号的调制和解调以及声光和电光调制的实验室练习与现有的实验室相结合，以完成适用于工程和技术学生的光子学实验室。在该计划下发展的特定实验室应在激光原理及其应用方面为其他实验室提供一个模型。

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.
