Facilities
The IPG lab is housed in the Department of Physics.
It consists of state-of-the-art equipment in the area of photonics.
The equipment is available for lab courses, undergraduate projects,
and graduate research.
Currently available equipment includes:
- fiber communication set-up,
- EDFA,
- diode laser testing equipment,
- diode laser drivers (500mA, DC-150kHz modulated),
- interferometers,
- optical spectrum analyzer (600-1700nm, 20pm resolution),
- CCD camera (400-900nm),
- digital storage oscilloscope (500MHz bandwidth, waveform averaging),
- He-Ne lasers (red&green, 0.5mW), diode lasers (670nm and 785nm, 5mW)
- Si and InGaAs photodetectors (10MHz), Si photodiode array,
- fiber optic components (cleaver, positioner, coupler, ...).
The lab is equiped with table-top breadboards.
The current slate of experiments are classified into
four categories:
fiber optics, detectors, lasers, and optics.
