Photonics Lab
The Photonics Lab is a highly specialized environment where you gain practical experience in the study of the nature of light, including wave motion, interference and superposition of waves, diffraction, lasers, optical communication systems and optoelectronic devices.
The lab is supported by a wide range of cutting-edge tools and instruments — such as the optical spectrum analyzer, precision fiber optics and current sources — and a broad array of components and supporting equipment to enable a diverse range of experiments and projects. You can develop a comprehensive understanding of light properties, which are crucial for modern communications, by using and exploring the optical benches equipped with lenses, mirrors, polarizers, diffraction gratings, as well as optical fibres and components.
