Before The Lab

You must watch the Laser Safety video in the 111-Lab before you use the apparatus in this experiment. Then fill out and turn into 111-Lab Staff the required laser safety form.

Read the lab writeup and required readings, discuss the pre-lab questions with an instructor, and have the Staff Sign-off Sheet (MOT) signed. You may find it useful to review principles of optics in the Optics Tutorial.

References

There are many books on lasers, and a number of modern optics books have brief chapters on the subject. The following is a selection of some useful references. A few are in the Engineering Library.
