Current Work

 * Determine an ideal process to assemble components of the fiber splicing unit.


 * Optimize and document a reliable, repeatable process for fusing 2mm x 2mm square optical fibers using a fiber splicing unit.


 * Work with James McIntyre to develop polishing, gluing, painting, and quality assurance procedures for optical fibers.

LabView Program
During the summer of 2012, Ben Willis wrote a LabView program that would communicate with a NetBooter and ultimately control a heater and water pump. LabView also plots the temperature of water being heated, and plots the changing temperatures on a graph on the front panel. I have added a little to Ben's work, but not much. Before Ben left, he wrote a [[media:Final_Report.pdf|final report]] of his work on the program and in the lab in general.
