Re: Dielectric mirror mystery

I'd suspect the attenuator slipped, letting a bit of light hit the unattenuated detector. Possible if using a raw beam, but especially if the beam overfills it. Wouldn't take much. Might also have a pinhole in the attenuator.

Re: Vintage Lasers & Holograms

Got the website up for the exhibit. Still need to move a late '70s Spectra-Physics model 170 Argon ion laser in, and a display case for the plasma-tubes. More holograms will also be added as they get mounted for safe display.

Re: Vintage Lasers & Holograms

If visitors interrupt my work too much, that's good! There are a few solutions for that, and it would show good general interest by the public. If not, I'll still pay the rent. The exhibit is at 5020 S. Ash Ave. in Tempe, AZ. Open noon to six, Saturday to Wednesday. An easy bike ride from the ASU ca...

Vintage Lasers & Holograms

I have finally gotten my new exhibit called "Vintage Lasers & Holograms" together enough to host a "soft opening" today. There are over 180 classic lasers and an equal number of associated things, including over two dozen holograms currently. The plan is to keep installing mo...

Re: Insults and character assassination

"Whatever technique you used for liquid crystal displays cannot be transferred to measuring the depth of a holographic emulsion." Why? You're 100% wrong about that. "The manufacturing techniques of a liquid crystal display are different from the manufacturing technique of a holographi...

Re: Insults and character assassination

Real Ivy-League responses there! :roll: Notice how, when confronted with his own words, when questioned about his own posted result (which is just a graph and doesn't show he ever made the hologram claimed at all) he devolves into a babbling idiot covering his embarrasment with attempted humor, just...

Re: Insults and character assassination

I see about 13nm FWHM on that graph. You're a liar too.

Re: Insults and character assassination

Here, the FWHM is about ~5nm. This was for R&L optics based in Philadelphia for an underwater LIDAR system. I calculated the necessary thickness and the necessary index modulation. I then determined the DCG formulation to get the calculated modulation. Joy set up the table, and i recorded the h...
