Description:
PHYS514/EE514 is a hands-on” optics lab course designed to give students practical experience working with optical and optoelectronic equipment. No previous laboratory experience is required, but students need an understanding of basic optical principles such as diffraction, lenses, and propagation in fibers.
Grading: Labs are graded based on being there and doing them and also on “Lab reports”.
