Abstract

The laser technology and its usage are often neglected in physics courses at high schools. However, not only Generation Z but also the subsequent generations will be surrounded by technologies using (albeit covertly) lasers. It is desirable that students know about this technology and are able to use it. There are a plethora of STEM experiments that can be done with the help of laser light. We successfully demonstrate some of these experiments together with a short presentation about laser principles to high school students who visit our faculty as part of various events. These experiments can also be performed in high schools, each of them showing one or more of the three basic features of laser light - coherence, monochromaticity, and directionality.
