hi gang! i finished my first week on the job and i thought id give you a look at what im working with. LASERS!!!! this is a laser that is entering a fiberlight box ware it is shifted in to two greens, two blues, and two violates. one set is shifted and the other is not. it is coupled in to a probe this is the probe ware we are using a humidifier to find ware the beams cross so we can focus our receiver on it. this is the whole set up with the probe, receiver, humidifier, droplets, and spray we use to run the experiments and calibrate the equipment. one of the guys focusing the receiver me trying to take a pic of the beam crossing through the view finder me trying to take a pic of the beam crossing through the view finder a stream of drops that we are able to control the freq of that passes through the crossing of the beams. with our equipment pictured we are able to measure with in one micron the the particle. im still learning all the things our equipment is capable of but i am having a blast and learning new things every day. i should mention we build and maintain imaging equipment for use in fluid dynamics
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is why I'm studying cool things rather than being everyone's bitch as a tech support employee This looks like a cool job. I can only hope I will also do something I love some day
i put my time in on a help desk, pulling cat-5, and then worked my way up to repairing two way radios and then i got to my new job. i would love to stay at this job for some time but would be excited to see what comes next.
