researching at Kansas State University Physics Department. My project researching at Kansas State University Physics Department. My project during this time was to work with two graduate students to shape laser during this time was to work with two graduate students to shape laser pulses. Specifically, we designed and set up a system that (hopefully) pulses. Specifically, we designed and set up a system that (hopefully)
allows us to adjust the phase of each separate frequency of a laser light allows us to adjust the phase of each separate frequency of a laser light pulse. Using a device called an SLM, Spatial Light Modifier, we were able to pulse. Using a device called an SLM, Spatial Light Modifier, we were able to apply different voltages to each pixel on a liquid crystal screen. Each pixel apply different voltages to each pixel on a liquid crystal screen. Each pixel corresponds to a different frequency of light. When we apply the different corresponds to a different frequency of light. When we apply the different voltages, we change the phase of each frequency, our goal is to make the voltages, we change the phase of each frequency, our goal is to make the phase of each frequency the same. Then applying a Fourier Transform we phase of each frequency the same. Then applying a Fourier Transform we were able to see how this phase shift changed the time-dependence of the were able to see how this phase shift changed the time-dependence of the pulse. Our goal is to be able to control the pulse as we choose, thus making pulse. Our goal is to be able to control the pulse as we choose, thus making
