In the last few years, lasers have become invaluable tools in thousands of industrial, scientific, medical and communications applications. This project, in several individual experiments, demonstrates a laser's unique ability to perform a variety of tests with deceptive ease. Included:

The modulated laser included with this kit can also be utilized for hundreds of other classroom and real-life projects. The instruction manual contains detailed instructions and diagrams that describe equipment set-up, as well as a historical journey into efforts to measure the speed of light. This is a great opportunity to learn not only about new technology, but also the very human history behind it.

Not included but required for operation are a video camera and monitor and a dual-channel 40 MHz oscilloscope.
