Laser Lab

The Laser Lab and the Optics Lab both see the most use during our two optically oriented courses taught in alternate years - namely PHY330 (Optics) and PHY405 (Topics in Contemporary Optics).

The Laser Lab normally houses several specialized laser systems, including a 50-watt CO2 continuous laser, a high precision tunable external cavity feedback stabilized diode system, a frequency-doubled 400 mW green laser, and a tunable dye laser. The lab utilizes one of three physics department research quality, air-supported optics tables and is well equipped with modern photonics tools (high-speed detectors, receivers, mounts, etc.) to accompany the laser systems. Like most of our labs, the Laser Lab includes permanent desk and computer/study space for at least two students.
