    What Does the Future Hold for Optics and Photonics?

    There's also ultrafast lasers (recently, the shortest laser pulse created is 67 attoseconds long!) which can be used to study very fast phenomenon, not to mention create really neat non-linear effects. Random lasers are just starting to get studied and developed. Plasmonics is another very hot...

    Graduate How to prove Galilean invariance

    R will be a unitary matrix (all rotation matrices are). By definition a unitary matrix will preserve length (or magnitude) of your vector. So your proof is basically saying that if you are rotating your reference frame, your force is now going to be pointing in a new direction. That sounds...

    Graduate Spectrometer setup to minimize absorption of reflected light

    If the spectrum of the blue peak is overlapping the spectrum of the red peak, then I don't think you can do much with filters. There are edge pass filters that can block a desired part of the spectrum. Are you using a commercial spectrometer? It might be worth checking if the blue peak and...
