You are expected to read Web-based laboratory write-up prior to coming to the laboratory.  You should also prepare yourself by reviewing the relevant material covered in class and by thinking about the objectives of each part of the experiment.  You may write your lab report during the lab period.  You must hand it in no later than the Wednesday following the lab period.

Please read the notes about Laser Safety, Equipment Care, and Cleaning Optics.
