Development of a Commercial Undergraduate Optics Laboratory

该项目正在开发一个新的商业本科教学实验室，重点是可调谐二极管激光器和法布里-珀罗光学谐振器的物理。智力优势：该实验室包括动手实验，向学生介绍先进光学中的几个概念，包括光学谐振器的物理学，光谱分析仪，激光频率调制和解调以及控制理论。作为其开发的一部分，该实验室将由TeachSpin出售给世界各地的本科物理和工程实验室。 拟议的教学实验室的更广泛的影响是提高学生的现代光学的物理和技术的培训，类型已成为重要的物理学和电信行业的许多领域。

This project is developing a new commercial undergraduate teaching laboratory focused on the physics of tunable diode lasers and Fabry-Perot optical resonators. Intellectual Merit: The lab includes hands-on experiments that introduce students to several concepts in advanced optics, including the physics of optical resonators, optical spectrum analyzers, laser frequency modulation and demodulation, and control theory. As part of its development, the lab is being packaged to be sold by TeachSpin to undergraduate physics and engineering laboratories around the world. The broader impact of the proposed teaching laboratory is to improve the training of students in the physics and technology of modern optics, of the type that has become important in many areas of physics and central to the telecommunications industry.
