Day 5
Today at our morning meeting Matt was able to show us the video he planned to yesterday which was a brief overview of the different applications of imaging science and emphasized the diversity of research fields it is used in.
After working on my abstract in the morning I assisted Cayla with the alignment of mirrors and lenses on the optics table. This process involves perfectly aligning a series of mirrors, lenses, beam splitters, and sensors individually by hand; it took up until lunch time and then had to be continued for some time afterwards as well. After finishing I studied optical (dielectric) waveguides and Beam Propagation Methods for the rest of the day as they are very relevant to my project which will attempt to simulate the intensity distribution of a short pulse laser beam when it interacts with a glass object or surface so that a laser can be used for fabrication of glass elements for photonics.
