Laser-Electro-Optic Effect Experiment.. Theoretical Background
Monochromatic polarized light (laser) is incident on Lithium niobate crystal that is placed at 45 o with the vertical. Applying an electric field to the crystal, causes it to become birefringent. The phase shift between the ordinary and the extraordinary light is found to depend on the square of the electric field.
Laser Electro-Optic Effect Virtual Experiment | Principle
In electro optic effect virtual experiment, lithium niobate crystal is illuminated with a laser beam that is polarized to 45 o with the vertical. An electric field is applied to the crystal, which allows some light to come out of the crystal and is detected by photo-sensor. The amount of light passing through the crystal is recorded as a function of the electric field using a photosensor, and the half voltage value is determined.
“With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves in a situation that forced us to act quickly to find the best solution available to provide our students with a quality molecular genetics laboratory experience.”
'' Although there are now several vendors offering virtual reality software for physics labs, there is only one that offers a realistic, I feel like I’m in a real lab, solution: PraxiLabs.''
" PraxiLabs offered my students a chance to actively engage with the material. Instead of watching videos on a topic, they could virtually complete labs and realize the practical applications of class topics. This is a quality alternative to in-person labs."
"Great user experience and impressive interaction, I am very pleased to have tried the simulations and will continue to do so."
