About the Advanced Laboratory Course

Here is a list of some previous projects from 1995:

  • Laser Frequency Locking System
  • Compton Effect
  • Sonoluminescence
  • STM of Thin Metal Films
  • Helium Neon Laser
  • R vs. T for High Tc Films
  • Microwave Skin Depth
  • Diffraction from a Compact Disc
  • Diffraction Patterns on Moving Water
  • Absolute Determination of the Ohm
  • Brownian Motion of 1um Sphere
  • Laser Surveillance Microphone
  • Noise Temperature
  • Speed of Light
  • Black Body Radiation
  • Kirlian Photography
  • STM of Ag Particles
  • And here are some additional ideas:

  • Laser Cooling and Trapping (only if you've done Laser spectroscopy)
  • Josepheson effect (this is supercurrent tunneling)
  • Einstein, de-Haas effect?
  • Cavendish's expt to measure G.
  • Nitrogen Laser
  • Hall Effect in thin films
  • Johnson noise and more!!!
  • Optical pumping of Rb atoms
  • And lastly some places you might try to get a few ideas:
