Funding from Calvin College, and
the National Science Foundation (Grants NSF-CCLI-0126825 and NSF-PHYS-0140135)


These projects have been developed in the context of Calvin's advanced optics curriculum. They have been supported by the NSF-CCLI Grant listed above and have benefited greatly from the valuable input and time investment of Prof. Van Baak.
