The Optics Laboratory aims to equip students with scientific and practical (experimental) skills through hands-on learning of wave phenomena (interference, diffraction, and polarization). Additionally, students are trained to handle laser sources.

All known properties of light are described in terms of the experiments through which they were discovered, as well as through numerous and varied illustrative experiments used to clarify them. Despite the multiplicity of these properties, their illustrations can be grouped and classified under one of three categories: (geometrical optics, wave optics, and quantum optics).
