Areas of Study
The Department of Physics was one of the twelve winners of the Gentec-Electro Optics Laser Lab Awards contest. We have won a QE25LP-H-MB-INT-D0 detector pyroelectric laser energy detector that is valued at more than $2000. We have no doubt that this energy detector will contribute to the learning process of our students and foster new research and industrial opportunities. The instrument was donated by Gentec Electro-Optics, Inc.
