SUMMARY

This forum discussion centers around sharing images of various laboratory setups, particularly focusing on laser labs and theoretical physics environments. Participants showcase their labs, including nonlinear optics setups with Argon lasers and dye lasers, and engage in light-hearted banter about the nature of their workspaces. Specific references include high-power laser systems, safety protocols for laser usage, and the challenges of maintaining a clean lab environment. The conversation highlights the diversity of experimental and theoretical physics labs across different locations, including New Zealand and the United States.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nonlinear optics and laser technology
  • Familiarity with high-power laser safety protocols
  • Knowledge of photonic crystal fibers and their applications
  • Basic concepts of experimental physics and laboratory setups
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of nonlinear optics and its applications in laser technology
  • Learn about laser safety standards and best practices in laboratory environments
  • Explore the functionality and uses of photonic crystal fibers in modern optics
  • Investigate the design and operation of high-power laser systems, such as Ti-Sapphire lasers
USEFUL FOR

Experimental physicists, laser technicians, theoretical physicists, and anyone interested in the practical applications of optics and laser technology in research settings.

Keep 'em coming! Working in a place like those posted was, and still is, my very childhood dream. :smile:

I would post a pic of my lab but I am a theoretician semi... so would a pencil and paper do

As long as the pencil is some kind of high power laser and the paper is some human being :biggrin:
Think you can manage that?:-p

Well you know, they're very, very left brained.

Your entire lab is a corner?

Actually it's just the bottom half of the corner. I share that corner with another grad student - he has the top half, where he runs some kind of anti-gravity experiments.

:smile: Okay, you got me.

Has the anti-gravity caused any problems, or is it well collimated?

Great tag line. I hope Isackson's 'Einstein' on the desk there was inclination. I certainly enjoyed it.

My wife and I both read it, and we both enjoyed it.

Impressive collection. You are a considerably more advanced theoretician than NoobixCube... NoobixCube are you sure your not a primary school teacher? :-p

Here are some more pics. A friend is a good photographer and has an awesome camera so without revealing too much of our labs (a requirement) guess what these represent:

That's part of a laser system. We have a similar Ti-Sapphire laser from Spectra Physics with 2 YAG lasers going through a TSA.

OK, so now it's my turn. Identify the copper thingy with the tubes sticking out of it. :)

HTS. Entire rig some kind of particle collider.

That looks bloody awesome.
Yeah, my guess too is something to do with a particle accelerator/collider... The copper tubing is being cooled by whatever is flowing through those hoses...? I'm really curious as to what the whole setup is/does.
 
  • #58
After googling for "particle colliders" I'm taking a guess the rings are "Damping Rings" or an "RF Cavity"?
