Optics Experiments and Demonstrations for Student Laboratories (eBook, ePUB)

Principles, methods and applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book describes a wide range of optical experiments, covering topics such as classical geometrical and physical optics, on atmospheric and relativistic optics and the optical properties of materials, as well as selected experiments on lasers and quantum optics. All the experiments described have been carried out by students at various levels of their education, both in general physics and in electro-optics and optical engineering specializations, making this text suitable for student laboratories at undergraduate and graduate levels and as course projects. The experiments described are based on the author's experience during many years of laboratory teaching in several universities and colleges and the emphasis is on setups which use equipment that is commonly available in student labs, with minimal dependence on special samples or instruments. The intention is that students should enter the lab to find a clear table and learn to set up the experiments from scratch using this equipment. A basic background in physics and optics is required, but commonly encountered problems and mistakes are discussed. There are occasional appendices describing specialized points which are necessary for carrying out specific experiments, and advice is provided about computer simulations which accompany some of the experiments.
