Educational and Tutorial Websites
	Numerical Computation and Laboratory Software NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (Online version of Abramowitz and Stegun) Wolfram's MathWorld Matlab A tutorial. Labview. A tutorial Clebsch-Gordon coefficient and 3/6/9-J symbol calculators and another one. Greek letters Physics and Chemistry Data NIST Chem WebBook Periodic Table NIST Physical Reference Data NIST Physical Constants NIST tally of Atomic Units A spectroscopy tutorial from NIST. Very useful for getting up to srpeed on terminology used in the lab. NIST Atomic Spectra Data Base Linn's Collection of Ionization Potentials part I , part II PhysLink Basic Physics HyperPhysics. Good resource for physics topics Physlets Applets for Basic Physics. Atoms and Elements Theory of Atoms in Molecules - Introduction Basic Optics OpticsNotes The Optics of Spectroscopy by J.M. Lerner and A. Thevenon (gratings, monochrometers, ...) Diffraction Grating Handbook from ThermoRG Electro-optic and Acousto-optics Devices Properties of optical glass (Schott pocket catalog) "[A]n excerpt of the important properties of the optical glasses from our main catalog," but for our purposes the notation/terminology discussion is especially important. See sections 1 and 9. Fourier Synthesis Mostly for your amusement. Uses your speakers so you can hear the result. Fermat's Principle Illustrated for reflection and refraction. Group velocity and phase velocity Simple illustration of how a wave looks when differing speeds are used. Try it at the highest frequency and follow the motion near the node in the envelope function. Group Velocity Demonstration Allows you to superpose two arbitrary waves specified using C-like syntax. Subluminal Illustrates how a pulse can appear to propagate faster than light. (The author should have named it "superluminal" I suppose.) FROG generator See the effects of linear and nonlinear chirp and SPM for PG, SD, SHG and THG FROG. From FemtoSoft Technologies . Lasers Laser dynamics You select the pump/loss/decay parameters and it solves the rate equations. Excellent for understanding self-Q-switching, transient response, and the approach to steady-state.
