Virtual Laser Lab Simplifies Training, Increases Safety
WÜRZBURG, Germany, Sept. 28, 2021 — Scientists at the Julius-Maximilians-University (JMU) of Würzburg have developed a novel virtual-reality (VR) laser laboratory called femtoPro that enables students to familiarize themselves with optical experiments and related protocols.
In femtoPro, users wear VR goggles and manipulate optical elements on a VR laser table. In this way, the coarse and fine positioning of mirrors, lenses, iris apertures, and/or other devices can be changed intuitively and with the same attention to detail as in the real laboratory. The properties and effects of these elements on the laser beam are...Read full article
