The modular equipment for training based on the semiconductor lasers
Abstract
The description is given of the study and research a modular-type training complex for studying the radiation of semiconductor lasers generated in the region of 400 – 950 nm. Structurally, the complex consists of emitter modules (there are 8 of them in the presented set, but in principle their number is not limited by anything), power and control modules, registration modules, and some additional measuring equipment to provide research on the energy, spectral, spatial, polarization and dynamic characteristics of the output radiation. The modular structure provides high variability of the complex and allows you to implement (in the presented version) more than 40 laboratory works, and also allows students to get skills in working with modern equipment and different data processing methods. This complex is focused on educational activities, but on its basis it is possible to carry out research work up to the second stage of higher education. A number of laboratory works based on the use of the complex have been tested at the department of laser physics and spectroscopy of the physics faculty of the Belarusian State University.
