About SPIE @ IIST:
At IIST we have students from BTech, MTech and PhD as members and
working together. We are all driven by our own enthusiasm and interests. We
are all together trying to explore the future and career opportunities under
the guidance of Dr. K. Rakesh Kumar Singh and of course mutual guidance
among the student members.
Our Lab:
Adaptive Optics Lab at IIST
Undergrad student activities in lab:
Demonstrating Optical Rotation
and Birefringence
Demonstrating colour spirals due to optical
rotation coupled with Rayleigh scattering when
polarized white light is passed through
concentrated sucrose solution which is optically
active.
Demonstrating Rayleigh Scattering in Dettol
solution.
On the eve of IIST’s technical festival,
Conscientia 2014, we demonstrated
simple and colourful demonstration of
ability of optically active solutions to
rotate polarization of light using a
popular demonstration of using
concentrated sucrose solution and
polarized white light to see spiral
bands of colours in the solution.

gradients/spirals in the glucose solution filled tube
at different orientation of incident polarization.
Inside the enclosure view of Birefringence
demonstration of Cello Tape. Different thickness of
cellophane gives different colors.

Future Plans…
Create good ambience for developing knowledge and skills in the
field of Optics.
Join hands with other SPIE chapters in India.
Share knowledge in optics with other colleges and schools.
Equip our Optics lab with sophisticated instruments and make it
more conducive for research.
Invite eminent personalities for getting to know about their
research.
Enhance participation in Conferences on Optics.
