Tóm tắt

The authors have developed a senior-level undergraduate laboratory course with an integrated theme of lasers and optics to teach experimental methods and reinforce fundamental physics concepts. This laboratory includes six experiments concerning modulators, laser kinetics, waveguiding, CO/sub 2/ laser operation, ultrashort pulse characterization, and nonlinear optics. The authors discuss the philosophy and structure of this course.
