Physics 533: Lasers (2008)

Homework will be assigned on an approximate biweekly basis. In general it will be posted on Tuesday and due two weeks later. The class before the homework is due, a group of students will present their solutions to the problems from the Homework. However, all students will need to hand in their own written versions of the assignments. See the table below for scheduled due dates and the actual assignments.

This table will be updated throughout the course.
