Resources for Physics 4150 General resources on the Web • Concise, readable, but relatively complete guide to basic optics as it pertains to lenses, prisms, wave plates, and etalons. • Website commemorating the 50 th anniversary of the laser, with much information on lasers and their history.

• A large collection of links to optics education and reference sites, some useful, some fascinating, others neither. • An illustrated guide to how polariscopes can be used to determine crystal symmetries and properties. Lecture notes and course-specific information • Detailed data on the Point Grey Firefly MV video camera (USB or Firewire), and the sensor it uses.

Optics-oriented Calculator • Small calculator program with several very useful calculation and conversion panes for optics, from Toptica Photonics AG. Veeam Crack. Ray tracing with OSLO-EDU •, Free educational version of the OSLO ray tracing and optical design program for Windows, and the extensive text book and user's manual that accompany it. Nonlinear least-squares fitting It’s quite possible to do generalized least-squares fitting with Mathematica, Matlab, or Mathcad, and links to a few examples and tutorials are provided below. However, there are also several free or inexpensive programs specifically intended to fit x-y data to lineshape functions such as Gaussians and Lorentzians. The first link below is to one such program that’s very easy to learn and works well.

It is installed on each of the computers in the P4150 lab room, as is Mathematica Version 10. • Web page for Fityk, a small program that works nicely for fitting Gaussian peaks and, when necessary, baseline offsets. It’s best to provide the input data in a text or “csv” file.

The program is free in versions up to 0.9.8. • Tutorial on using Mathcad to analyze Physics laboratory experiments. • Generalized least-squares fit to a Gaussian peak using Mathcad. • Online documentation for the FindFit [] function in Mathematica.
