Temperature Test Monday
by Weaver, John R 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

On Monday, 19 November 2012, from noon to 3:00 pm we will be running a test on the reheat system for the laboratories. This test should be transparent to the users, the temperature should not vary more than ±2° and humidity not more than ±10% relative during the test. This test is in preparation for the chilled-water tie-ins for the east wing exhaust project. Thank you for your patience during this critical project. John John R.

BNC E-News – Announcement of Seminars and Workshops
by Anthrop, Heather L 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Dear all, We are trying to cut down on the amount of emails being sent out to BNCall, therefore we will be sending out a weekly announcement each Friday, advertising the upcoming week’s seminar and workshops. We are also keeping our BNC website up-to-date with all upcoming events/workshops and this is where we will get the information to distribute the weekly BNC E-News announcement, therefore when you have an upcoming seminar please send the notice to Heather Anthrop (hanthrop(a)purdue.edu<mailto:hanthrop@purdue.edu>) who is uploading them to the website and sending out the weekly notices. ****Note that in order for your seminar announcement to get distributed you will need to get it to Heather the Thursday (5pm) before the week of the seminar so it can get put in the announcement on time**** Thanks! Jaime Monday, November 19th Sanjiv Sinha Seminar Selected Studies in Elector-Thermal Transport Physics and Engineering Birck 1001 at 11:00 am http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nanotechnology/events/view.php?id=1119 W.

Erich P. Ippen November 13, 2012 Seminar MRGN 121
by Black, Nancy Lee 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

You are invited to attend this seminar hosted by Andy Weiner and Peter Bermel. Refreshments will be provided. Femtosecond Optics: More Than Just Really Fast" ECE Distinguished Seminar November 13, 2012 Burton D. Morgan Center, ROOM 121 3:30 PM Erich P. Ippen Elihu Thomson Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Physics, Emeritus" Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Laboratory of Electronics Advances in ultrafast optics have created dramatic new capabilities for a variety of applications, such as optical clocks, medical imaging, micro-machining, precision sampling, and signal processing, as well as for a wide range of scientific investigations. Many of these applications do not themselves rely on ultrafast time resolution, but benefit from the ultrawide bandwidths, low temporal coherence, low noise or high peak powers of ultrashort light pulses. This talk will describe briefly the femtosecond laser state-of-the-art that makes these things possible, and will illustrate how it enables such a wide range of uses.
