The stu­dents re­cei­ve in­for­ma­ti­on ma­te­ri­al about the fun­da­men­tal work flow in op­ti­cal la­bo­ra­to­ries and data ana­ly­sis in Python. In three ex­pe­ri­ments the gained know­ledge of the stu­dents is tested and fu­ther­mo­re ap­p­lied to two op­ti­cal set­ups and some data.

The prac­tical ex­pe­ri­ments are the ali­gnment of a sin­gle mode fiber cou­pling setup and a Mi­chel­son in­ter­fe­ro­me­ter. In the Python ex­pe­ri­ment data in­ter­po­la­ti­on and Fou­rier trans­form are in the focus of the ex­er­cise.

Fur­ther con­tents are:

• Clea­ning and Hand­ling of op­ti­cal com­po­n­ents
• Optic ali­gnment work­flow
• Op­to­me­cha­ni­cal com­po­n­ents
• Basic cha­rac­te­ris­tics of len­ses and other op­tics
• Co­he­rence and in­ter­fer­fe­rence
