| Goal of the Course | This is a laboratory course aiming to provide a first direct contact with issues of current research in Lasers, Laser applications and Modern optics. Students in groups of two, join for periods of 2 or 3 weeks on going research of teams involved in experimental projects in the Laser Laboratories of IESL-FORH. Through this experience, students are exposed to experimental aspects of modern optics and laser technology. During the course are expected to undertake 5 experimental exercises (lasting 2 to 3 weeks each), for which they will prepare reports in the format of brief research papers. Also, all students at the end of the course are expected to make a short oral presentation (~15 – 20 mins) relevant to a topic within the broader field of Photonics. |
