Field notes
The homepage links to a fuller experiment gallery, real-build photos, and sections for teaching and consulting. Its three featured exercises cover interferometer behavior, conversion between beam shapes, and cavity alignment. The author’s bio identifies physics teaching at Fullerton College alongside research and industry experience; the page also separates educational simulation from physical measurement.
