McGee Laser and Photonics Group

Optics at Drew

The Physics Department has an active student research program in lasers, optics, holography, and image processing.  With a recent National Science Foundation Instructional Laboratory Improvement grant, the department is also developing new undergraduate laboratory experiments in photonics and nonlinear optics.  Many opportunities exist for students to work in the lab, including multidisciplinary projects involving chemistry and computer science.  Projects span the range from Independent Study courses, Honors theses, and paid summer internships with the Drew Summer Science Institute.  Faculty and students have been supported in their work from NSF, Research Corporation, Council on Undergraduate Research, and American Physical Society Division of Laser Science.  For more information, contact Dr. David McGee .
