It reminds me of a bucket of water sloshing.
Open post Mark Theascetic @marktheasctic@sfba.social · 45mo ago Replying to @ylegall@genart.social @marktheasctic@sfba.social no just looping noise. @ylegall@genart.social: Forgive my ignorance but how can there be noise in a mathematic environment?

This is rotated from the last photos. I'm not convinced whether the two missing lenses in the middle broke off before I got it, broke off while I was hacking my way into the package, or were just never there. A mystery for the ages. @kwf@social.afront.org: Note the angles.

Each of the four lasers are only 4.5nm apart in wavelength, so the temperature really matters to keep them in their channel, so there's a peltier cooler underneath the platform holding the lasers and first optical stage so that the optic can electrically heat or cool the lasers to keep them at the right temperature! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling @kwf@social.afront.org: Cooler! Wow! Now I need to learn how to use emoji on Mastodon. 😮😮
