ACP photonics library.
Image: Christian HelgertThe Abbe School of Photonics has an in-house library stock of special and up-to-date literature on photonics. This stock contains more than 90 book titles that are strongly recommended for accompanying studies during the first, second and third semesters of the M.Sc. Photonics program. This students' literature stock is officially part of the Thuringian University and Federal State Library (ThULB)External link. The photonics literature includes, but is not limited to, the state of the art on fundamentals of photonics, quantum optics, optics design, biophotonics, optical engineering and laser physics.
A detailed list of all available books can be found here: ACP library content.External link
All books can be rented for home studies by every photonics master's degree or doctoral student on the second floor of the ACP main building. To access or to rent any of these books, please contact rebeca.roeppenack@uni-jena.de.
Outdoor blackboard for students at the ACP plaza, 2021.
Image: Mats SegbersThanks to an initiative of the Student Council of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, all students can now use a new outdoor blackboard at the plaza in front of the ACP building. The movable board can be used outdoors for studies or individual meetings. The blackboard is regularly locked in the bikeshed adjacent to ACP. To access it, please write a short email with your full name and contact data to rebeca.roeppenack@uni-jena.de — you will receive your personal key/transponder to access the bikeshed and the blackboard.
