A Diode-Laser Experiments Workshop

虽然激光已经彻底改变了光学和许多其他科学领域的研究，但成本和复杂性的障碍在很大程度上使它们无法进入本科课程和实验室。 这个项目的目标是一个研讨会的运作，这将使物理学家和化学家使用二极管激光器令人兴奋的新的可能性，为学生带来演示和研究机会。 为了实现这一目标，为期一周的研讨会的与会者将有直接的，动手的经验与一套半导体激光实验，并将收到半导体激光器的能力，复制和操作这样的实验的教学格式指令。 他们还将成为后续支持社区的一部分，旨在帮助他们克服自己实验室中的障碍。 该研讨会将感兴趣的物理学家，也是化学物理学家，谁想要把现代可调谐激光的方法到学生手中的光学，电学和磁学，量子力学课程，以及相关的实验室课程。

Though lasers have revolutionized research in optics and many other fields of science, obstacles of cost and complexity have for the most part kept them out of the undergraduate curriculum and laboratories. The goal of this project is the operation of a workshop which will empower physicists and chemist to use exciting new possibilities with diode lasers to bring demonstrations and research opportunities before students. To accomplish this, attendees at a week-long workshop will have direct, hands-on experience with a suite of diode-laser experiments, and will receive seminar-format instruction in diode-laser competencies for replication and operation of such experiments. They will also become part of a follow-up support community intended to help them surmount obstacles in their own laboratories. The workshop will be of interest to physicists, and also chemical physicists, who want to bring modern tunable-laser methods into the hands of students in courses on optics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and associated laboratory courses.
