Yeah it is something i will surely start to learn when the time is right.
The photo detector will used to detect photons in and around the visible spectrum. I am hoping to use to it in the implementation of my Opto-Mechanics Physics Thesis.
I must detect the phase noise of a laser that has been mode cleaned by a filtering cavity. So I want to make a detector that minimises phase noise specifically, amplitude noise is not so important, but I must be able to detect phase noise with high sensitivity.
I hope that made some sense haha.
What about you my friend? What is your area of speciality?
Awesome, I'd love to see any such device that you end up building. I don't know a ton about lasers but your explanation makes sense.
Personally I'm still getting my undergraduate degree (physics and aerospace engineering), but I hope to go to graduate school for physics in the next few years. So I don't yet have a well defined specialization.
Just keep going, keep studying, working hard, even when it's a pain in the arse. Always believe in yourself, I didnt come from a great background, but with self belief and determination anything is possible man.
You'll find your favoured area and you will excel, keep doing your thing man.
If I can ever give you advice you know where to find me. I'm always happy to help good people.
Rock on dude!
