  1. OptoSci's unique range of self-contained photonics laboratory teaching packages offer an immediate solution to the provision of comprehensive and stimulating experimental courses in key areas of optics, optoelectronics, and optical communications. Consequently these educational packages save the tutor 2 to 3 years of course, literature, and hardware development effort.

  2. To enable rapid installation in the laboratory and remove the need for costly design and development of the laboratory hardware, each OptoSci package is a fully self-contained unit incorporating all of the components and optoelectronic instruments required to perform the experiments.

  3. To eliminate any time consuming and expensive preparation for the tutor extensive literature support is provided including, student manuals which describe the relevant background theory and experimental procedures, and an instructor's manual with sample results for all experiments and exercises.

  4. To assist with the preparation of the corresponding lecture course, each educator kit is accompanied by a comprehensive set of lecture notes (incorporating examples, design studies, and tutorial questions and solutions) detailing the underlying principles behind the laboratory experiments.

  5. To ensure high quality educational products which are directly relevant to academic courses in photonics, OptoSci design the kits in close collaboration with senior academic staff from the internationally renowned optoelectronics teaching and research groups at Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt Universities.

  6. To consolidate what the students have learned in their lectures, each educator kit is designed to enable students to investigate the important physical principles and key technical issues relevant to the particular topic of interest.

  7. In certain circumstances the tutor may wish to provide open ended experiments to challenge the more advanced student (i.e. for final year undergraduate projects or MSc project based experiments). Since the OptoSci educator kits are designed to enable students to investigate important physical principles and key technical issues, it is relatively straightforward to use the equipment for such open ended experiments.

  8. OptoSci's innovative design philosophy ensures: that all of the educational objectives are realised; that all major technical issues are addressed; and that each complete package can be offered for a price which is realistic within academic budgets.

  9. Hundreds of OptoSci kits are used in the teaching laboratories of leading academic institutions world-wide. The positive feedback we have received from both tutors and students alike is an emphatic endorsement of the educational value of the products.
