Practical teaching of nonlinear optics and spectroscopy with the virtual-reality laser laboratory femtoPro — •Stefan Müller1, Tobias Brixner1, Andreas Müller1,2, and Sebastian von Mammen2 — 1Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg — 2Games Engineering, Institut für Informatik, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg
We have developed “femtoPro,” an interactive teaching and training simulation of an ultrafast laser laboratory in virtual reality (VR) [1,2]. femtoPro implements physical models to calculate Gaussian beam propagation, the modulation of ultrashort laser pulses by optical elements as well as linear and nonlinear light–matter interaction in real time on stand-alone VR headsets. We have designed a practical lab course with several tutorial missions featuring step-by-step instructions on how to set up, align, and operate telescopes, optical delay lines, or interferometers, for example. We discuss the application of the program in the context of practical academic teaching. The program can also be used for practical exercises for high-school students, to train optics experts, to supplement laser-safety courses, and to enthuse the general public about optics and lasers.
