Modulators

Tuesday, May 6, 2008 • Duration 01:00:14

We look at the behavior of electrooptic devices as amplitude and phase modulators.

Birefringence

Thursday, May 1, 2008 • Duration 01:10:20

We look at birefringence in crystals and discuss optical activity and the Faraday effect.

Fabry-Perot Interferometer

Thursday, March 13, 2008 • Duration 01:16:09

We look at the transmission of a Fabry-Perot interferometer and discuss properties like the free spectral range, finesse and linewidth.

Michelson Interferometer

Thursday, February 28, 2008 • Duration 01:15:35

We investigate the Michelson interferometer and the relationship between physical parameters and the interference term.

Two beam interferencde

Tuesday, February 26, 2008 • Duration 01:14:37

We look at the interference term present when two waves interfere and discuss the effect coherence has on fringe visibility

Group and Phase velocity

Thursday, February 21, 2008 • Duration 01:15:09
