IPL - Laser Alignment Software

The Immersive Photonics Lab (IPL) is a Virtual Reality application dedicated to photonics training, faithfully reproducing physical phenomena and effectively developing procedural skills. It emulates the optical and laser equipment necessary to train students, anytime, anywhere, and without the risk of injuries.

The goal of this lab is to learn how to align a laser beam on a predefined axis, using two mirrors and 2 apertures.

▪ Level 1: Discover the alignment procedure.
▪ Level 2: Understand the optical setup to know which mirror to act on in a particular configuration. Know how to reapply the alignment procedure.
▪ Level 3: Know how to apply the alignment procedure with greater precision requirements.
▪ Level 4: Know how to apply the alignment procedure independently with a laser beam whose propagation is not visible (unlike levels 1 to 3).

The Laser Alignment version includes 4 guided levels in which the learner becomes familiar with the elements of the setup and discovers the iterative laser alignment procedure.
At the end of the four levels, they are able to align a visible or invisible laser beam in a direction defined by two apertures using two mirrors and two apertures.
Throughout the different steps, the learner is also made aware of the dangers associated with lasers.
A sandbox mode allows the learner to apply the acquired knowledge to design and align their own setup.
