Hello 5.351 Students,
-The lab reports have been graded by the course TAs and reviewed by the Faculty in charge of this Module. Please stop in to pick up your reports and final grades for Module 1, 5.351.
-It will be invaluable for this experiment to have the input of your insight. Would you please stop in for a few minutes?
-Please come T-W this week anytime from 4-5:30pm or 12:45-1:00pm.

You too can be a laser spectroscopist! For a couple of hours this Friday...
Dear 5.351 Students,
I’m writing to provide a little bit more detail about the Transient
Grating experiment that you have a chance to participate in this
Friday, March 1. It isn’t a Lecture Demonstration! It’s real
experimentation in which you get to cross the laser beams, make the
diffracted signal beam appear (three beams of light come in to the
sample…four come out!...the fourth disappears if you block any one
of the three input beams), and measure the rate of electron
transport from transient grating peaks to nulls. The setup uses
low-power lasers so you can work without special safety training.
But this is the same measurement we make in our research! Ryan
Duncan, the graduate student who described the measurement to you,
is an advanced Ph.D. student whose published work is all about
transient grating measurements on a variety of samples.
If you want to see what a pulsed laser spectroscopy measurement is
like, and try it out, come on down to the laser lab in 6-007, the
basement where all the lasers live, this Friday at 1:00.
