Figured it might be a good opportunity to start documenting certain lab practices, which are not necessarily a good fit for the research group's internal wiki, e.g. fiber couplers ideally should have the notch visible (FC/PC vs FC/APC).

I probably won't have time for this though...

Day 1:

• Textbooks
• Gaussian beams, Lens, Fibers, Collimators

Day 2:

• Achromatic and aspherics, coatings, types of optical components
• Laser lasing threshold
• Laser light collimation, laser light coupling

Day 3:

• Python, wiki navigation, minicom
• Anamorphic prisms, beam levelling
