Focus:
The Optics and Modern Physics Laboratory provides exciting opportunities for students to pursue research in experimental, theoretical, computational, and applied physics. In applied research, students often develop new devices or engineer improvements of existing devices related to optical, electromagnetic, acoustical, photonic, and nanotechnology systems. Optical projects have typically involved imaging systems, vision, sensors, color, human perception, image processing, holography, interferometry, and other laser applications. In Modern Physics, students pursue research in areas of atomic, quantum, nuclear, solid state, and elementary particle physics. Primary goals of the lab are to engage students in pursuing contemporary research problems and collaborating with professionals in the field. Recent initiatives, for example, have included work in metamaterials and holographic data storage.
