My name is Ross.
I am an electrical engineer who works in Hollywood doing color science for film.
Sounds weird but it's true. I worked as a design electrical engineer for 15 years designing analog & digital power supplies & embedded computers for everything from telecommunications mother boards to point of sale devices. Then in the early 2000's my industry took a nose dive (telecommunications industry) and I ended up laid off.
I had friends who worked in Hollywood who told me the industry had become digitized and that I'd be able to find work there of which I leaned new skills such as digitizing film and have been there ever since.
I still love electronics and still dabble in it. In the 90's amongst other things I did design some fiber communications using low power laser diode assemblies but went no further than that with lasers at the time.
I have always found lasers fascinating and have recently focused in on that.
I have already bought a few lasers. I have a Rick Trent (3.2 to) 3.5W 445nm laser kit which I've had fun with last night (just got that in yesterday). I have on order a 100mW 532nm green laser from Lazerer on order which I expect in late next week. And the other is a 1.6W 445nm laser on order from rayfoss.com that should come in the end of this week.
I look forward to learning a lot more from this site and you guys and purchasing some different lasers from the Buy, sell, trade section on this site.
