This one was a small group with about 6 students.


Between faculty and students, we had people from Florida, NY, Indiana, Texas and Puerto Rico
 


Mike Woodford works with the articulated arm.
 


Herb starts to fire up the Coherent Argon with Tray and Patrick.
 


We finally got the HGM PC EDO argon to fire up, and let it fire by itself for a few hours to burn off some of the overpressure in the laser tube. Seems to have worked. (remember eye safety).


Lisa keeps the front office organized while we work.


John and Patrick working on the heraeus arm.

Herb seems to like those overhead transparancies!


Q-Switched Nd:Yag


Mel & Tray work on cavity and fiber alignments on a solid state laser.
 


Elvy, Patrick and Mel go over the SLT Nd:Yag with Herb - this was the "project" laser that needed the cavity aligned from scratch.
 


Lunch was at a different restaurant each day. This time we're at Dave & Busters.

Dan's on his way home to see Nancy. Lucky Guy!   :-)
