Photonics Laboratories provide students in undergraduate and graduate levels with the fundamentals of Photonics needed to be engaged in an experimental research. Photonics I (ECE 441) and Photonics II (ECE 448) experiments are: Intensity modulation using polarizers and wave retarders, Measurement of Gaussian beam complex curvature, Construction of a Michelson's interferometer to be used for displacement and wavelength measurement, Handling fibers and determination of numerical aperture, Assembling and testing of a fiber-optic datalink, Laser light modulation using an electro-optic device, and Optical filtering using Fourier optics. In addition to these experiments, the Photonics research focuses on the terahertz optical A/D convertors and the photorefractive-based resonators.
