Teaching and learning in this component will be through "hands on" demonstration. This form of teaching and learning is important in acquiring competence and skills and advancing understanding by practical experience. The students learn to consider specific key instrument types in current usage in the field of photonics, laser and optics. This will be delivered in a lab course study format with each instrument being evaluated in terms of operating principle, design, and signal processing.

Content:
Laser design and concepts in photonics, solid state lasers, tunable laser systems, gas lasers, industrial laser systems, laser material processing, micromachining, diode lasers, mode locked fiber lasers, microscopy and photonics instrumentation.

Important:
This is a practical lab course which is not offered in Oldenburg, but at the Universtity of Applied Sciences in Emden.
Laboratory experiments are performed in groups of two students each.

In order to be able to participate in this course, it is mandatory to have a laser safety training. This will take place on 04.04.2023 in W16A 015/016 Campus Wechloy.
