Meeting Minutes: 

• • Alex presented a summary of bibliography. Presentation can be found in the shared folder here:PoF_Shared_Folder

  • Sander presented about laser safety. Presentation in shared folder

  • Laser safety takes approx. 4 months. We need to start asap

  • The cryo measurement has been done by DUNE, what is our target? 
  • DUNE group at FNAL has favored connection with Broadcom, for customized products for cryo.
  • MSU and CU reached out to James about the status of the project.
  • We can lend setups to partners. One Broadcom setup is around 2k

Next Steps: 

• • Sketch of lab space in 113 (James) 
  • Ask Ryan about Lab space in building 84 (Sander) 
  • Contact Mike Wooks for a meeting (Sander) 
  • Redefine Scientific goals (everybody) 
    • Verify if it can power 1 reticle (min) and 16 reticles (max) (Alex) 
  • Contact DUNE at FNAL (Sander) 
  • Can we/ Will we take a SULI Student? (Caterina) 
  • Draft of PCB board (Pietro) 

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)
