THE IMMEDIATE SOLUTION TO PHOTONICS TEACHING LABORATORIES


OptoSci's Photonics Educator Kits offer comprehensive and fully self-contained laboratory based educational kits for universities, colleges and education centres teaching physical optics, optical waveguiding, fibre optic communications, BER, WDM, EDFA, lasers, OTDR and optical networks.

Our current range of educator kits includes:

ED-OPTICS: consists of four separate modules (polarisation, reflection and refraction, diffraction, interference and coherence) for the study of physical optics and the wave properties of light.

ED-OPTICS

ED-WAVE

ED-WAVE: enables the the investigation of optical waveguiding in dielectric media, and examines the concepts of multimode and singlemode planar waveguides.
ED-COM: enables students to acquire practical experience in the investigation, design, analysis and characteristics of fibre optic communications systems and their component parts.

ED-COM

ED-NET

ED-NET: enables the investigation of the fundamental characteristics of optical network analysis and the use of optical time domain reflectometry.
ED-AMP: enables the investigation of the basic principles of optical amplification, by the characterision of an EDFA, and to develop an appreciation of the engineering applications of optical amplifiers and their limitations within these applications.

ED-AMP

ED-LASE

ED-LASE: enables students to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of optical amplification and lasers through experimental investigation of an EDFL.
ED-WDM: a series of kits enabling the investigation, analysis and characteristics of optical fibre components, Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) systems and fibre Bragg gratings.

ED-WDM

Each education kit saves the tutor significant course, literature, and hardware development effort and includes:

  • all optoelectronic hardware required to perform the experimental programme
  • manuals to guide the students through the background theory and experimental programme
  • an instructor's manual which contains sample results and solutions for all of the experiments and exercises
  • a comprehensive set of lecture notes (incorporating tutorial examples, design exercises and case studies plus solutions)
