The SSU Department of Physics and Astronomy has recently updated its Lasers and Holography laboratory with a number of new experiments. The laboratory is equipped with a 5 W argon ion laser, optical time domain reflectometer, spectrum analyzer, fiber optic transmitters and receivers, diode lasers, fiber optic cables, connectors and couplers, and instruments and software for computer controlled measurements. The above equipment is complemented by the vacuum evaporation system and other electronics and test equipment shared with the electronics and semiconductor devices laboratories. A significant portion of the equipment has been donated by individuals and local companies. The photonics laboratory is primarily used by the applied physics students in connection with two advanced undergraduate laboratories, Lasers and Holography, and Fiber Optics and Detectors, both taken concurrently with or after the lecture course in Photonics .
Students also use the laboratory for their research activities and design projects.
These grants are designed to enhance undergraduate students' participation in research and scholarly activities. Some experiments our students are currently performing For further information please contact Professor Saeid Rahimi .
