ADVANCED OPTICS LAB -ECEN 5606
Profs. Wagner and Anderson


Prerequisites: Phys 4510 - Optics, ECEN 5156 - Physical Optics, ECEN 5616 - Optoelectronic Systems 5616, ECEN 5696 - Fourier Optics. or ECEN 5645 - Optical Electronics / PHYS 7810 - Lasers.

Corequisites: Phys 4510 - Optics or ECEN 5016 - Fundamentals of Photonics


The optics lab consists of experiments which introduce the techniques and devices essential to experimental work in modern optics from both the Physics and Engineering perspectives. Labs will be offered in both the ECE optics lab (ECEE105) and Physics Advanced lab. Lectures will be in ECEE265, Mondays 10:00-10:50. Lab sessions will require a full day, T, W, or Th, and conflicts with the escheduled time are OK because labs will literally require a full day. The Optics lab is only offered every 2 years, so you should take it now if you are interested.
