CP Spring 2016

Overview and Goals

I am setting out to quantify the light loss in the reference bundle from standard handling procedures. Before the December 2015 winter recess, a bundle of unfused, unbent reference fibers were roughly cleaved. This semester, I will be testing the longest fibers from the reference bundle using the dark box. This will shed light on the loss due to typical handling of the fibers.

Procedure

Currently being determined

Progress

Soon to come

Presentation of Research

I have uploaded the abstract and poster I presented at the Physics Graduate Student Association's annual poster session on March 9, 2016.
