Laser Optics Demonstration Set U17300
Laser Optics Supplement Set U17301
The column "SET TO USE" informs you which set is appropriate for which experiment (either U17300, or U17301, or
both).
Introduction
The demonstration set U17300 was designed for easy
and clear demonstration of basic optical effects and
devices. Using diode laser as a light source for experi-
ments enables both teacher and student to understand
the principle of simple and more complicated optical
systems. In this guide book you can find many basic
experiments and demonstrations using U17300 and
U17301, which is an additional set of optical elements
containing air lenses, air prisms etc. Every experiment
in this book has three parts:
1. A simple description of the experiment
2. A geometric diagram of the experiment
3. A diagram showing what the experiment
looks like when it is set up.
Shown in brackets under the title of the experiment is
whether it can be demonstrated with the U17300 or
U17301 set, or both. The same note can be find also in
the table of contents in the last row. It is clear now,
that some experiments cannot be done with U17300
and some of them with U17301.
A very important constituent of the experiments is the
LASER RAY BOX which consists of five laser diodes. Be
careful to avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam!
If you have basic set U17300 and you are interested in
realizing experiments for additional set U17301, please,
contact your distributor of didactic aids.
