Abstract

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

Objective

The goal of this P&S is to learn the basics of working with optics and how to assemble optical systems. It is intended to show the practical side to the many optics lectures that are offered at D-ITET. The course will give a very brief introduction on laser safety, basic building blocks for optics and information on how to handle such elements. The following classes allow the students to test very basics properties of lenses and lasers and how the corresponding optomechanics can be used to arrange a simple setup. After this, the different student groups rotate through four different experiments where they get the chance to build and align different optical setups and perform various measurements. No prior knowledge is required.
