AB  -   Introducing a Remotely Accessible Optical Laboratory for Undergraduate                                 StudentsWith the current economic downturns where educators are constantly confronted with furtherbudget cuts, fewer resources, and larger class sizes, online (or web-based) learning is receivingmore attention than ever before. One key advantage of online learning is that it can providedirect delivery of education at anytime from anywhere to anyone, and thus, enhancinginstitutional learning to wider student population when resources are limited. Furthermore,various research results have indicated that online learning and training are in fact as effective astraditional face-to-face learning, at least in terms of measurable academic achievements.Motivated by such shortcomings, we have developed a remote laboratory platform that allowsstudents to login and complete a number lab experiments in fiber optics. Generally, performingsuch experiments are expensive and require expensive hardware and testing equipment. Oursetup offers remote access to state-of-the-art Agilent test equipment. Thus, students in otherinstitutions can run a number of laboratory experiments, including, eye-diagram testing, Bit-errortest, optical attenuation, and signal dispersion in fiber optics.In this paper we describe the basic laboratory setup, as shown in the figure below. We alsoelaborate on laboratory experiments, which remote students can carry out. In addition, we reporton student feedback we received.
