First off, great community you have here. I've been lurking for a while, and have seen a lot of friendly interactions.

Quick Bio: I am a student of electrical and optical engineering in Oregon, and I will be trying to keep myself mostly professional because that tidbit and my name probably identify me exactly with some digging. No doxxing please. Optics are pretty damn amazing, as you all know.

In addition to my classwork, I have some amount of relevant experience, mostly maintaining CO2 laser cutters and working at an optoelectronic company.

I don't often post on forums, so I am creating an account now to make it a bit easier to jump into the B&W Tek Spectro thread if I have any breakthroughs. I purchased one about a month ago before I came across the thread, and have been trying to do some of my own work with it in parallel to what people are doing here.

Other than the standard reds, I have that 473nm lab laser, a couple 532nm and 405nm pointers, along with a Tec cooled DFB 1310nm laser that I built the control circuit for, and is currently sitting in my senior project (and may stay there indefinitely.) Not much, but enough to do what I need.

Good to meet you all,
T
 





Welcome, sounds like you already have some experience :beer:

Make sure you use the search bar st the bottom of the page. Stay safe
 
Welcome to the LPF, Tom. I have been working with that spectrometer in the thread you mentioned. There is a lot of good information there. My daughter was born in Portland, so I have lived in Oregon too. That was thirty some odd years ago, however. Good luck with your studies.
 
Welcome to LPF, TomP! :wave:

It sounds like you'll fit right in, with your background and interests. :yh:
 
Welcome to LPF, Tom! It’s always a pleasure to dialogue with graduate students pursuing advanced laser related skills. We are a collegial community of nice and knowledgeable people who are happy to listen and help whenever possible. I’m happy to hear that you no longer need to be a lurker. Safety is always our chief concern, as you must know with such an impressive listed collection. Please be sure to properly use correct eye protection, and be careful around other people and all living things. Have fun and please always be laser safe. Take Care. :D
