Meeting Minutes: - Marty talked to Michael Woods (Laser Safet Officer at SLAC), and he seems understanding of our need. General recommendations: laser always connected to a receiver, laser in a box,...?
- Mengqing at Nikhef has a set of lasers. A possible collaborator.
- Sander has been to the laser safety event at Stanford.
- We need to think about the system level for safety, and for practical reasons (where to dissipate power in a power-pulsed system). We either have to control the laser, or tune it to deliver the 'average' power that is stored on a capacitor, and regulated with an LDO
- We need to start with a generic system, with LDO, and a set of variable loads (resistors) with a way to monitor the ouput voltage and current, to characterize the system before connectiong it to any real load (ASICS, SiPM).
To Do list: - Start ES&H Process on laser safety (Sander)
- Literature study on solutions/competitions (Alex)
- create a list of possible laser and diode providers (Alex and James)
- Concept design of PoF board (Pietro)
- Start setting up a lab space (James)
- Reach out to collaborators, with a potential meeting before winter break (Sander and James)
- Keep an eye for relevant talks at CPAD and NSS (everybody)
