@hydezero-message.bsky.socialHow does bending or twisting a fiber change light sent to a spectrograph? Explore a measuring system tested on one fiber, and why light spread and light amount must be measured separately.

@hydezero-message.bsky.socialPaid tutorial: calculate Gaussian width conversion, FRD, reference-light power ratios, and error propagation with shared fluctuations. Includes examples and solved exercises, not a reanalysis of the experiments.

@hydezero-message.bsky.socialHow does bending affect fiber output? Explore Singh et al.βs automated FRD and relative throughput measurements, tested on one fiber. Relative throughput is not absolute transmission.

@kmdouglass.bsky.socialIn trying to solve a conceptual problem with LED emission models, I learned that material absorption is a necessary component in the derivation of Lambert's cosine law.

@frontierresearch.coChaos, then order: in a mode-locked fiber laser, the authors caught short-lived 'transient chaos' as optical solitons self-organized, reconstructed its phase-space trajectories from single-shot measurements, and saw rogue waves of extreme amplitude along the way.
