Abstract : the abstract is a sort of super-condensed summary of the whole report (usually 250 words). It should very
briefly report what is going to be discussed in the report as well as the main result(s).
Note: The page limit for your report is four pages.
A scientific report is a document, which should explain
clearly an experiment or a new theoretical work. It is not
a novel: words should be chosen carefully in order to avoid
any possible confusion or scientific mistake. For instance
weight and mass are two different concepts that are
usually replaced by each other in a non-scientific
discussion. Similarly, abreviations can be used as long as
they are defined the first that they appear in the text.
This template is supposed to help you presenting your
work in a professional manner. It is heavily based on the
template used for the submission of paper to the journal
Optics Letters. Please, follow this template as a visual
guide. Note that the goal of this report is to present what
you did during the practical sessions. It is absolutely not
necessary to reproduce the protocol that you were given!
The introduction should set the scene, the context. A
good introduction should raise the interest of the reader.
Usually the end of the introduction describes what will be
found in the paper point-by-point. The description of the
experiment(s) should present both the goal of the
experiment and the result(s), which should be presented
either as a table or as a graph. Note that either a table or
a graph must have a number, and a proper caption that
explain it. Your report must also include a discussion and
interpretation of the results. There you can expose a
theoretical part to support your observations. Obviously,
even when the observation does not fit a predicted theory,
this should be discussed. Finally, a conclusion and a list of
references is expected.
Two-column text. To create two-column text for the
manuscript body, use the option Page Layout, Columns,
Two. Set the spacing to 0.25" between the two columns.
Within the body, apply one-column formatting to any
figures, tables, or equations that must span columns.
Paragraphs. Body paragraphs should be indented (only
the opening paragraph is flush left) and have no extra
space in between. All paragraph text within the body
should be set in two columns.
Equations. Display equations should be broken and
aligned for two-column display unless spanning across
two columns is essential. Equations should be centered
with equation numbers set flush right. For MathType
math, use the Format Equations feature to format all
equations as Times + Symbol 10. Note: There must be a
blank linespace above and below each displayed equation.

Figures. As with tables and equations, figures should be
set as one column wide if possible unless two-column
display is essential. Figure captions should have
approximately 6 points above and below. Figures must be
introduced in the main text and a caption should be added
by right-clicking on the image and choosing “Insert
Caption”.

fundamental HE11 mode) and several different higher
order modes at the third harmonic frequency... Fig.

References. They should appear at the end of the report.
In case of an article, the whole list of authors must
appear, then the name of the journal, its volume (in bold),
the first page and its year [1]. For books, the authors and
the whole title must appear, then the editor and the year
of the edition that you used [2].
