Optoelectronics: Lab Manual

This lab manual is designed to teach the reader how to design and build optoelectronics devices by assembling the projects within the volume. It provides the necessary instructions and training to design and assemble your own optoelectronics devices, including a laser optics lab, a sandbox holography lab, and a physical optics lab. It also offers a review of the essentials of optoelectronics covered in the previous volumes. Topics covered include: light’s interaction with surfaces and optical elements; optoelectronic measurements, measuring instruments and projects; light and laser sources; scope cameras; edge detection ICs; reflections and mirrors; speed-of-light experiment refraction, polarization, dispersion, internal reflections and photo-elasticity; ambient light suppression techniques; optical spectrum analyzer; and optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR).
