This lab bears on the development and implementation of electronic circuits for the control of a high-spatial-resolution scanning probe microscope. In the course of the lab, the students will elaborate their project that comprises processing of analog signals (measurement, analysis, filtering) and their conversion (ADC and DAC). The task implies the use of operational amplifiers, feedback loops, as well as systems for piezoelectric tube motorization. The project work also includes programming under LabView and offers the possibility of integrating Arduino and FPGA boards. The practical lab sessions will be accompanied by introductory presentations of the fundamentals of electronics and the processing of analog signals, meant to facilitate the start of the work on the project. This lab finds applications in scientific research and covers a large number of various fields of physics, such as electronics (both micro- and nano-), mechanics, optics and quantum mechanics.
