Hello. I have been a member of laserpointerforums.com for a few months now and recently discovered this forum. From what I have seen so far I think I will like it here very much. Now a little about myself:
I am going into my final year for my degree in physics at the University of Arizona and hope to get into the grad program in optical science. I just recently got more heavily into lasers. I have an internship right now with a local company to help design a production based laser system to write holograms. I have also been playing around with lasers on my own as a hobby, I saw my first laser in 4th grade when someone brought a HeNe in to show the class. After that I got my first pointer back when 1mW reds from costco were still relatively expensive (for a 4th grader anyway). I have since moved on to higher powered ones. I have a few pointers I made for fun and a single line argon. I also have recently purchased a scanpro20 which just arrived and a 500mW green to add in. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get a red or 2 to make an RGY.
I look forward to learning from all of you and hopefully I'll be able to make some contributions of my own!
Ryan
