DaveE reacted to nescientist's post in the thread I hope to learn more and realize a grasp of nature's wonders! with
Like.
Well, I haven't applied much physics(or even thinking from that framework) since University, and I miss it. So, I'm picking up old books... -
DaveE reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Undergrad Question about increasing laser power with
Like.
The OP question has been sufficiently addressed. Thread closed. Thanks to all who participated. -
DaveE reacted to Baluncore's post in the thread Engineering Voltage across inductor is somehow negative despite diodes? with
Like.
v = L⋅ di/dt As the current rises and falls, di/dt changes sign. What does that do to the voltage across the inductor? While V2 is... -

DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad Question about increasing laser power.Home built confocal (and similar) resonators aren't THAT finicky. Many people have built low performance, low reliability, and often... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad Question about increasing laser power.Virtually all lasers use this, or similar, techniques internally to function optimally. You won't make their design better by adding... -
DaveE reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Undergrad Question about increasing laser power with
Like.
There are two kinds of lasers, continuous wave (CW) and pulse. Since you're thinking of CW, that is what I will address. Most CW... -
DaveE replied to the thread Weird News Compilation.The commercial airline industry has an amazing safety record mostly based on the creation of structured rules and compliance. The... -
DaveE reacted to pasmith's post in the thread Undergrad Limit behaviour of Fibonacci sequence with
Like.
There is a much easier way to arrive at these results. From ##a_{n+1} = 1 + a_n^{-1}## and the definition of ##\varphi## we can obtain... -

Like.
I thought this might be quite interesting to anyone who hasn't seen it before. Consider any Fibonacci sequence, where ##F_1 > F_0 \ge...
