Laser Technologies Megalaboratory
The Laser Technologies Megalaboratory is an interdisciplinary educational platform designed to develop professional competencies among undergraduate, master’s, and graduate students enrolled in the following closely related programs:
• 12.03.05 Laser Engineering and Laser Technologies;
• 12.05.01 Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices and Systems for Special Applications;
• 12.04.02 Optical Engineering;
• 12.04.05 Laser Engineering and Laser Technologies;
• 12.06.01 Photonics, Instrumentation, Optical and Biotechnical Systems and Technologies;
• 11.03.04 Electronics and Nanoelectronics;
• 28.03.01 Nanotechnology and Microsystems Engineering.
Using the Megalaboratory’s equipment, students acquire hands-on skills in operating laser systems, study the interaction of laser radiation with matter, practice laser engraving, and fabricate diffraction gratings.
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems enable students to analyze the characteristics of laser radiation in various optoelectronic systems and to create digital models of laser, optical, optoelectronic, mechanical components, assemblies, and parts.
A distinctive feature of the laser systems is their integrated autonomous exhaust and air purification units, which can be controlled either manually or via personal computers.
In the Megalaboratory, students study:
• Principles of optical filtering based on Fourier transforms; fundamentals of phase-contrast imaging and image enhancement; microscopic imaging techniques; system resolution determination techniques;
• Operating principles of modern spectrometers and monochromators: students can assemble their own scanning spectrometer, record transmission spectra of various materials, experimentally mitigate astigmatism and spherical aberrations, and investigate material dispersion;
• Methods for determining the polarization state of light sources: students can build a 3D cinema setup model, learn the principles of saccharimetry, and apply them in practice;
• Fundamentals of spectrometry: students align optical setups and measure the refraction angle and dispersion of a triangular prism;
• Operation of a portable optical tweezer and the basics of micromechanics.
The Megalaboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art, high-tech instrumentation that offers extensive opportunities for scientific and educational activities, opening new horizons for future careers.
