After completing this course, students will have the knowledge and experimental skills to design and apply a photonic measurement system to monitor an environment, a process, a life form, a device, or a system. The course will combine predefined laboratories to develop basic skills in optical techniques, and experience using devices, and instruments, with more open-ended project assignments. Three semester hours credit.

Course Goals:

Provide students with experimental experience in a modern optical laboratory.
Reinforce concepts learned in earlier courses through practical application.
Prepare students for experimental optical research in industry or in graduate school

Prerequisites: please see the syllabus for a list of concepts you should be familiar with.

Resources, Course assignments, announcements, and materials will be posted on the course OWL-Space site.

Schedule: First meeting, Wednesday, 8/26, 4pm in the lab, Ryan basement, room 08. No regularly scheduled lectures; special classes may be assigned. Laboratory times by arrangement; laboratory in Ryan 08.
