Optical Instruments for Physics Teaching and Laboratory Experiments
1. Optical Instruments for Physics Teaching
We develop and manufacture optical instruments for physics teaching and laboratory experiments. Our product range covers liquid crystal electro-optic effects, photoelectric effects, light speed measurement, solar cell characterization, diffraction, interference, Newton's rings, and optical lens assembly.
Our optical instrument range includes:
- Liquid Crystal Electro-Optic Effect Experimental System
- Photoelectric Effect Apparatus
- Speed of Light Measurement Apparatus
- Solar Cell Characterization Apparatus
- Diffraction Intensity Measurement Apparatus
- Double Prism Interference Apparatus
- Newton's Ring Experimental Apparatus
- Prism and Lens Experiment Set
- Zeeman Effect Experimental Apparatus
Each instrument is designed around a specific experimental subject and optical arrangement. This allows laboratories to select individual equipment according to their teaching experiments rather than purchasing a general-purpose optical setup.
2. Optical Instruments and Their Experimental Functions
2.1 Liquid Crystal Electro-Optic Effect Experimental System (LB-LDG-A)
The LB-LDG-A uses a 650 nm semiconductor laser, polarizer, analyzer, TN-type liquid crystal panel, and high-speed photovoltaic receiver to demonstrate liquid crystal electro-optic effects.
Students can adjust the polarizer and analyzer, as well as the panel's driving voltage and frequency, to investigate changes in light transmittance and liquid crystal response.
The system measures light-on to light-off response times of 10–15 ms and light-off to light-on response times of 25–30 ms. Its liquid crystal panel measures 35 × 80 mm and can rotate horizontally through 0–360°.
2.2 Photoelectric Effect Apparatus (LM07-B)
The LM07-B is configured for experiments involving photosensitive resistors, photodiodes, and photovoltaic cells.
Its optical arrangement includes an LED white light source, two imaging lenses with 100 mm focal length, two polarizing plates, and a silicon photovoltaic receiver measuring 10 × 10 mm. The optical rail is 0.8 m long.
The electrical components include an adjustable external DC voltage supply, variable resistor, galvanometer, and digital ammeter. This configuration supports measurements of photoelectric device characteristics and photovoltaic response under different experimental conditions.
2.3 Speed of Light Measurement Apparatus (LM3000A)
The LM3000A measures the speed of light using the phase method and Lissajous figure method.
Its setup combines modulated light, an adjustable optical path, and phase measurement. The optical path can be adjusted from 0 to 1 m, while the phase shift range is 0–180°. The instrument has a measurement accuracy of ≤3%.
An additional transparent rod is available for experiments involving refractive index measurement or light propagation through a medium.
2.4 Solar Cell Characterization Apparatus (LB-SC-A)
The LB-SC-A allows students to investigate the electrical characteristics of monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon solar cells.
Each solar cell panel has an effective area of 42 × 42 mm. A 60 W tungsten lamp provides continuously adjustable illumination, and the panel inclination can be adjusted from 0 to 60°. These adjustments provide different conditions for studying solar cell output characteristics.
The standard configuration includes a control box, main unit, three solar cell panels, light power meter, resistance box, and light shield. Voltage and current measurement instruments are also included.
2.5 Diffraction Intensity Measurement Apparatus (LM99)
The LM99 uses a 650 nm laser diode and a linear CCD detector with 2,700 photosensitive elements to collect diffraction intensity distributions.
Its grating assembly includes seven groups with 14 patterns. Three movable slide assemblies provide positioning adjustments: two slides have single-axis movement, while the third has three-axis movement. The grating holder also provides lateral adjustment over 70 mm, with vernier positioning accuracy of 0.1 mm.
This arrangement gives students a practical setup for comparing diffraction intensity distributions produced by different grating patterns.
2.6 Double Prism Interference Apparatus (LM05)
The LM05 combines a 650 nm laser, cylindrical lens, double prism, and linear CCD detector for double-prism interference experiments.
The double prism measures 30 × 20 × 3 mm and has three degrees of freedom for adjustment. The CCD detector has 2,700 photosensitive elements and collects the interference intensity distribution. An oscilloscope is used to observe and analyze the collected data.
The 100 cm optical rail provides the mounting base for the optical components.
2.7 Newton's Ring Experimental Apparatus (LM08-B)
The LM08-B is designed for observing Newton's rings in reflected and transmitted light arrangements.
A CCD microscope with 60× magnification is used to observe the ring patterns, while an electronic micro-displacement ruler provides displacement measurements with a minimum resolution of 0.01 mm. The apparatus also includes a 587.6 nm yellow LED light source with adjustable intensity.
An optional wedge interference attachment is available for thin-film thickness measurement experiments.
2.8 Prism and Lens Experiment Set (LM06)
The LM06 provides optical components for assembling and studying different optical instruments. Its aluminum optical rail carries seven movable holders, allowing users to position the lenses and other components along the rail.
The set includes two convex lenses with focal lengths of 100 mm and 150 mm, one concave lens with a focal length of -50 mm, an object screen, and an eyepiece. A German white LED light source with adjustable intensity provides illumination for the experiments.
Using these components, students can assemble Galilean telescopes, Keplerian telescopes, internally focusing telescopes, and microscopes.
