[Academic] one supervisor sought for MSc project based on 3rd year experiment

[Thorsten Ackemann]

Dear All

I would appreciate to find one volunteer to supervise a MSc summer 
project (4/6-21/8) based on 3rd year experiments, please. This should 
also help to develop the 3rd year lab.

There are two options, either "optical fibres" or "operational 
amplifiers". I will pick the other supervision.

Optical fibres: Recommission a dormant experiment on fibre coupling and 
birefringence in fibres, double it up and compare the two realizations

Operational amplifiers: develop a 3rd year experiment on operational 
amplifiers:  linearity and frequency response of an amplifier, 
integrator and differentiator; set-up and characterize a more complex 
application, e.g. photodetector or any other idea

It should not be too laborious. Ken is available to help with everyday 
supervision. David will help, when he is back from the Arctic Ocean. I 
will also take some interest.

Regards

Thorsten
