Q18: Demonstration Lasers

 

Purpose: To demonstrate the properties of laser light.

Description:

Modulated Neon Laser:

  1. 1.5 mW -- The extra power makes laser experiments and demonstrations brighter (and often easier). Especially useful for holography. A shorter exposure time can be used to minimize problems with vibrations.
  2. Modulation -- Connect a microphone or TV camera to this laser, and students can transmit voice or video signals through the laser beam to a distant receiver. Or use this laser as a laser stroboscope for timing.

Pasco Diode Laser:

This versatile Diode Laser is designed to mount on a rod stand. The laser assembly can rotate 360 degrees. Easy setup makes it perfect for refraction investigations or other general laser experiments. Output power <5 mW, Wavelength 660-680nm, 9VDC 500 mA power adapter.
