A week’s gone by!
This week the main things I’ve been up to are:
-Continuing to improve the Parametric Down Conversion ISE using more excellent feedback from Antje
-Starting to develop an ISE which aims to explain the Poisson Distribution and its application in experiments within an optics lab!
Parametric Down Conversion ISE
The most recent version of the ISE can be found at:
www.dur.ac.uk/foundation.science/qm/CrystalWeek2/CrystalISE-2014-3.4.html
Some of the changes made this week:
-More layout changes- this time with the count rate displays so that their layout mimics that of the lab apparatus
-Goals in general have been made more visible. This has been done by where possible making them fade in, as this is more eye catching than appearing suddenly, as well as changing the colour scheme and making the font larger.
-Most of the sliders have been changed to 180 degrees instead of 360 as this is simpler.
-Some text problems were sorted out- such as equations that were hard to see and text “leaking” out of boxes.
-The polarisers now move back into their box once removed from the collection optics- which they oddly stopped doing for no discernible reason…
I expect I’ll be posting about the Poissonian distribution ISE soon, it’s still fairly early days
Thanks!
