The department is purchasing a laser system to upgrade the undergraduate instructional research and laboratories. The new changes are affecting two distinct courses in the curriculum. One is the laboratory component of a course in physical optics. It is offering new laboratories where the students are assembling, studying, and using pulsed-dye lasers in several optics experiments. Pulsed-dye lasers are good for pedagogical purposes because they are simple to assemble and use, and because they can be set to emit tunable visible radiation in a wide variety of wavelength ranges. The other course is an upper-level laboratory, Advanced Topics and Experiments, which consists of independent research-oriented projects. The new acquisition is improving the projects in the area of atomic physics, involving experiments with Rydberg atoms, that are resulting in the acquisition of original data. The aim of these projects is for students to do semester-long independent research as part of the curriculum. *

该系正在购买激光系统以升级本科教学研究和实验室。新的变化正在影响课程中的两个不同的课程。一个是物理光学课程的实验部分。它提供了新的实验室，学生们在那里组装、研究和使用脉冲染料激光器进行几个光学实验。脉冲染料激光器用于教学目的很好，因为它们易于组装和使用，并且可以设置为在各种波长范围内发射可调谐的可见辐射。另一门课程是高级实验，高级课题和实验，由独立的研究型项目组成。新的收获正在改进原子物理领域的项目，包括用里德伯原子进行实验，从而获得原始数据。这些项目的目的是让学生做一个学期的独立研究，作为课程的一部分。＊
