| Contents | Data Acquisition Systems, data analysis, experimental setup, detection techniques. Optics experiments. |
| Reference texts | No available texts. The material will be identified during the course. |
| Educational objectives | Students will need to learn the modern methods of data acquisition and data analysis, with particular reference to the use of digital techniques. Students will learn to use optics instruments and to setup a few simple experiments. |
| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of electronics and statistics. Familiarity with computer systems. Basic programming concepts. Basic optics knowledge. |
| Teaching methods | Classroom lectures with slide shows and movies. Some lessons will be devoted to reviewing and deepening themes also proposed by students, with the involvement of the students themselves. Practical lessons in a physics lab equipped with the classical instruments needed to set up measuring and acquisition devices and to analyze data from the measurements carried out, the student will work independently under the guidance of the teacher. |
| Other information | |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of an oral exam in which the students will have to present the results and reflections of the experiences during the lab course |
| Extended program | Examination of physical measurement methods of common use. Analog and digital data acquisition systems. Analysis of possible sources of noise and noise treatment. Reference to Data analysis. A brief reference to the interaction between radiation and matter. Transfer functions and their effect on experimental data in general. Organization and realization of small experiments aimed at measuring basic quantities or measuring devices properties. Michelson interferometer. Acousto-optic modulators. Magneto-optic Kerr effect. Surface physics experiments. |
