DESCRIPTION:In the Photonics Academy of Wales @ Bangor (PAWB) Design Labor
 atory\, a not uncommon personal greeting is\n“What have you invented\, t
 oday ?”. PAWB exists to encourage all students to create highly innovati
 ve new applications\nof Low Power Laser Beams. Photonics is the Science of
  the Harnessing of Light – and that is what PAWB does – PAWB\nseeks to
  encourage students to harness the Light from Low Power Laser Beams in hig
 hly innovative ways.\n\nLight from a Laser has just four fundamental chara
 cteristics\, and there are just four treatments which can be applied\nto a
  Laser beam. Hence\, from within these eight significantly different Laser
  Beam features\, PAWB seeks to face the\nchallenge of seeking opportunitie
 sto create many different applications of a Low Power Laser Beam\, as alwa
 ys is achievable\, through the inherent imagination and ingenuity of any s
 tudent. \n\nIn this talk\, I will briefly indicate the eight different cha
 racteristics of a Laser Beam\, and then focus\nspecifically on the PAWB ap
 proach to Photonics Design\, through the PAWB Technique of TriadA. An init
 ial sequence of\npractical audience involvement in investigative demonstra
 tions\, will be narrowed down to focus on just two of the Laser Beam chara
 cteristics\, to which the human eye does not have any sensitivity response
 \, and which are overflowing with creative Design potential – namely Las
 er Beam Speckle and Laser Beam Polarization – both being produced by mos
 t unusual Laboratory mechanisms\, which very few people ever have encounte
 red – both are PAWB Photonics specialities.\n\nAll the Laser Beam equipm
 ent\, present for this Presentation\, will provide CUPS members with an op
 portunity to\ntake some initial steps towards the design of any number of 
 new Laser based inventions – all\, perhaps\, with a PAWB based\nencourag
 ement to utilize Laser Light Beams for the benefit of those individuals wh
 o may be visually impaired\, and who\ncannot actually see the Light which 
 is providing them with some helpful benefit.
