AN EDUCATIONAL PLATFORM TO TEACH UP-TO-DATE TECHNOLOGIES IN NONLINEAR OPTICS, ULTRA-SHORT-PULSE GENERATION AND LASER AMPLIFICATION.
The new and innovative educational platform focuses on the utilization of a wide spectrum of applications for fiber based laser systems and integrates them into academic lab courses. The issues of how these lasers are driven, the interaction of their operating parameters, the consequence to their operational states and the correct characterization of these systems are the main educational goals. According to these goals, three experiments were designed and cover a broad spectrum of educational aspects:
- A passively mode-locked fs-laser
one of the shortest events ever created by mankind - A dispersion measuring setup
to understand how the speed of light is influenced by materials and how it is useful - A Master-Oscillator Power Amplifier
Together these three experiments give the opportunity to connect the theory of actual industrial and fundamental research topics with hands-on experience in academic lab courses.
