Howdy !
Even without a lot of time this week, I still managed to get some work done. Mr. H and I started to look inside the code, and on my side I was learning about lasers and trying to find a way to make the ones I have more powerful.
I discovered this MIT class called Laser fundamentals and proceeded to watch as much as I could during my free time. The complicated math aside, I learned interesting facts about lasers, especially the old ones powered by sapphire. I'm planning on watching the second course soon, but I doubt I find anything for my project, it's mostly a side hobby now.
If you're wondering, here's how a sapphire laser works:
On the right, there is the sapphire piece ( which is red, because the blue sapphire is only the mainstream one, sapphire can have any color, and pink sapphire is actually the most common. ), which is where the photons travel from one end to another, bouncing on a 0% transparent mirror onto a 2% transparent mirror.
But going back on my project, when the coding will be done, it's all going to be a waiting game, waiting for the laser to come, which will hopefully be powerful enough!
Here's the github of the code we're currently looking at.
