This video series is the most helpful laser primer ever for me. I am a physics PhD starting to work heavily with lasers but never truly understood how it works. Professor Ezekiel is really conveying physical pictures, and pictures only, without too many equations to mess with your flow of thoughts. The experiments to demonstrate the inner workings of lasers is super pedagogical, too. Nowadays we only work with "blackbox" lasers with buttons and knobs, you seldom get to play with cavity mirrors within. And since the physics of lasers will always stay the same, these videos by Professor Ezekiel will be timeless notwithstanding the old style in which it was made.

Thanks MIT for providing these. I think free education is essential for the future. Education should be free and made into video so we can educate the world and ourselves. I personally prefer video education over text education. If all education would be on video, more internet education and most importantly make the point to think for yourself and dont be afraid of ridicule. No more money. Resource based economy for the win and free education for the win. The heart tells us what to study.

it would be nice for one laser unit to vary according to the nature of an inserted material so that the laser transitions from an identification sensor to one that is an evaporation tool before the material is then condensed and stored via an automated vacuum seal mechanism into an inner chamber of the recycling unit.

I am getting confused ! GHz is higher in frequency than MHz, which means the wave frequency measured in GHz has shorter length ! so why light wave in GHz while Laser beam in MHz?
@DarkTahmi215 жыл бұрын
Here Ghz and Mhz is not the frequency of the light, it's the spectral width / bandwidth. For example you create a lamp that can emit light with frequency of 1 THz to 1.01 THz. In this case the spectral width is 1.01 - 1 = .01 THz or 10 GHz. I hope it's clear to you now. For Lasers the spectral width is smaller, meaning it has very little variation in frequency when outputting light.

He seems like a nice person. I enjoyed part of this video. But his explanation of temporal coherence at 12:23 is a complete fail. When he starts getting into tau and f0, delta f and "delta width being very close to zero", he does not explain any of it; after saying at the beginning that he will be explaining these concepts as he goes along. He is making the typical mistake of a professor in teaching concepts and procedures to students who he assumes already knows them. If you're getting into lasers without already having the background in math, and exposure to frequency and oscillation concepts that he assumes, you're going to be very frustrated by this video. Before you assume it's your fault you can't understand it, I suggest that you check out other intro to optics and laser videos.

More generally I think this presentation does not have a clear audience in mind. The introduction is very very basic level (not technical at all) and then it goes to phase jumps in the atoms and divergence of a diffraction limited focused spot?

There are way too many things wrong with this presentation and it makes me so mad 0_o He makes it sound SO much more confusing than it would need to be if the presentation of the information was more coherent and comprehensive. UGH. This presentation made me SO MAD for some reason. Also some of the notation in the graphs was pretty subpar and DEFINITELY, EASILY could have been better. Also, a lot of the time it really frustrated me that the information was presented in such a detached and drab way; this kind of stuff should be presented in an EXCITING way, to reflect (ha...reflect) how freaking COOL it all is!!! It should be presented in a CONCISE and ACCESSIBLE way in order to convey the coolness of lasers. It should be presented in a way that more people can understand and internalize.
