I'm thinking of hosting a brief meeting of laser enthusiasts that emphasizes the technical aspects of lasers as well as the related physics. I do not have a firm date, but sometime in the last two weeks of July works best for me.
This is not SELEM nor is this a show. I have some experience that I can share such as how to work with optics and how to fabricate a simple mount. I have some pretty interesting lasers, one son has built some pretty neat radio equipment while the other makes quite a nice buck selling computers and computer components.. The lab/shop is below a nice projection venue and the property is located at the foot of several 4,000(+) foot mountains (these are nice to hike).
I'm open to suggestions, but I want to keep it fun and practical. This former bed and breakfast can accommodate a few visitors and there are a few larger and currently operating B+B's near by.
Visitors can bring projectors they want to show off or want to tweak. van de Graaffs, drones and cyclotrons are welcome, but alas there is only single phase power available.
