This is the second of a two-semester subject sequence beginning with Atomic and Optical Physics I (8.421) that provides the foundations for contemporary research in selected areas of atomic and optical physics. Topics covered include non-classical states of light–squeezed states; multi-photon processes, Raman scattering; coherence–level crossings, quantum beats, double resonance, superradiance; trapping and cooling-light forces, laser cooling, atom optics, spectroscopy of trapped atoms and ions; atomic interactions–classical collisions, quantum scattering theory, ultracold collisions; and experimental methods.

This is a presentation for day two of a three-part series on "Implementing a High Quality Resource" with a focus on "Focus and Coherence."Activities Include:Math Assessment Audit DocumentEssential Standards MappingMath Learning Progressions ActivityResources Include:DPI Assessment PageBalanced Assessment GraphicArizona ProgressionsGraham Fletcher Progression VideosAchieve the Core Focus StandardsWilliam McCullam's Coherence Video  

Lectures, laboratory exercises, and projects in modern optics. Topics: polarization properties of light, reflection and refraction, coherence and interference, Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction, imaging and transforming properties of lenses, spatial filtering, coherent optical processors, holography, optical properties of materials, lasers, nonlinear optics, electro-optic and acousto-optic materials and devices, optical detectors, fiber optics, and optical communication.

This pre-assessment for Eureka Math can be given to find out what support is needed for implementation. It can also be given after implementation support to determine growth and continued implementation support needed. This can easily be made into a Google Form to make an online version.
