me, with the "disappearing beaker"

me, reclining, processed with Scion Image

the coherent fiberoptic cable

a close-up of the attached tag

apparatus for varying the intensity of the laser light

output of cable, from an approximatly TEM00 beam, parallel to the normal of the cable input

with an angle greater than 0, showing the "circle behavior"

apparatus for showing the effect on a complex image, in this case the pattern after the beam goes through the "3D glasses" lens

the pattern that was incident on the input of the cable

output of the cable, from the image incident parallel to the normal of the cable input

angle greater than 0

a different angle greater than 0

apparatus for taking a CCD picture of the red diode laser beam

CCD picture of the red diode laser beam

another CCD picture of the red diode laser beam

apparatus for taking a CCD picture of the beam coming out of the Schott coherent bundle

CCD picture of the beam coming out of the Schott coherent cable

a side-by-side comparison of the same CCD picture when saved as a .TIF (left) and a .BMP (right) file, illustrating one of the two errors in the CCD software that I found

another comparison showing the CCD software error that distorts files saved as .BMP files, this time more obviously
