Pictures of your lab (experimentalists & theoreticians)

In summary, the theorist's lab has high power lasers, optical tables, and all the equipment needed to run experiments. They also have pictures of their powerful computers.

Attach the best pictures of the lab you work in here!
Theoreticians can attach pictures of their powerful pc's!

n0 3c, you should describe what's going on in your lab. What experiment(s) are you running?

Seeing as no-one wants to play, I'll just go ahead and answer ks_physicist's question.
It is a nonlinear optics lab. Argon (blue) laser is converted to the green beam which is used to pump the dye laser creating the red beam. Finally it goes into a photonic crystal fiber to observe raman and parametric amplification.

Boy this thread isn't going to last long is it...

Are you in Albuquerque? I think Sandia (or maybe Los Alamos) has quite the laser lab, if I remember right.

Many universities have laser labs - I'm in New Zealand.

My lab doesn't have lasers. :frown:

I don't even have a lab!

You can come to my lab. You'll love it. We have puzzles and cheese and shock-collars. :approve:

I have a virtual lab. Since I don't have access to huge telescopes, spectoscopes, etc, I have to steal data and images from NASA, CalTech, HyperLeda, SDSS, etc, etc. I hope they don't catch me. :uhh:

Either you photoshopped in the beams or you need to clean up the dust in your lab if they are that obvious.
Looks like you attempt to breed allen keys isn't working - they are just ignoring each other. I was working on a theory that optical tables are a sort of black hole for M6 allen keys.

Is that a Ribena bottle in the top left corner?

I was going to scold you for having food in the lab, but then I remembered that Ribena doesn't actually contain anything from a biological source.

You are the first person that has responded saying its fake out of the many many people I've shown them too. I admire your honesty.
To answer your question - there is no photoshop whatsoever. The beams are >1.5W CW, and if you've used high power lasers you would no that even in a 99% dust free environment the beam is still visible because the scattering power is soo strong. I admit that this lab is not even 60% dust free.
If I still don't convince you, would you like me too take a picture of that table with the lights on?
For the rest of the pictures, I have posted them on gpforums:

I would've thought most people on PF work as academics hence photos of your labs etc.

HAHAHA Yes it is! We keep empty bottles lying around to put pieces of cut fiber's. Bare fibers are very sharp and extremely painful when pierced through the skin.

Scary - I prefer things under 5mW.
It's always disapointing to photographers, how ever much LN2 boil off or canned air we spray around they can't see the laser beam like in the Bond movie.

I assume all the beam covers and edge of table guards were removed for this shot ?

This is where the magic happens (and no these aren't pics of my bedroom you sillies).

Uhh...beam covers? lol... I know what you mean, and its dodgy when the safety officer comes to the labs for an evaluation - they just have no clue on how dangerous those power levels are. All they do is make sure we wear our safety goggles and we get an "A++".

lol "attachment waiting approval"...c'mon guys - we want lab pics not porn pics.

If the OP was following correct safety procedures, he is wearing laser safety goggles with sufficient OD to make that scene invisible to him.

He like the rest of us only gets to see the colors in his pics.

1. What equipment do you use in your lab?

In my lab, we use a variety of equipment depending on the experiment. Some common equipment includes microscopes, centrifuges, spectrophotometers, and various types of glassware.

2. What type of research do you conduct in your lab?

As a scientist, my research focuses on understanding various phenomena in the natural world. This can range from studying the properties of different materials to investigating biological processes.

3. How do you ensure the safety of your lab?

Safety is a top priority in our lab. We have strict protocols in place for handling hazardous materials and all researchers are trained on proper safety procedures. Additionally, we regularly conduct safety inspections and maintain proper safety equipment.

4. What is the role of experimentalists and theoreticians in your lab?

Experimentalists are responsible for conducting experiments and collecting data, while theoreticians use mathematical and computational models to analyze and interpret the data. Both roles are crucial in our lab as they work together to advance our understanding of various phenomena.

5. Can you show us an example of a recent experiment or project conducted in your lab?

Unfortunately, due to confidentiality agreements and ongoing research, I am unable to share specific details or images of ongoing projects. However, I can say that our lab is currently working on a project investigating the effects of different environmental factors on plant growth and development.
