Testing 405 nm laser in a radiation-damaged cell, to see if we can 'drill a hole' through the damage
.
.
Hole drilled! It looks like a cylinder because the beam was rather non-uniform
.
.
Our first uvLED used for curing rate testing. Mounted to an aluminum heatsink, since the first one wasn't and went up in smoke after bringing it to full power
.
.
uvLED curing rate test setup, with two photodiodes for data aquisition as well as a fan for additional cooling
.
.
Some test results (uvLED frequencies written on tape)
.
.
Branden and the frame for 1 quadrant of cold plates; holes are drilled and ready for uvLEDs to be mounted
.
.
First apply thermal paste...
.
.
...then screw it on and solder some wires

.
Add heatshrink and rinse and repeat, ~1,000 times

.
Some initial water flow testing
.
.
Halfway done!

Connecting external wires

At times things got messy
.
.
Fuse blocks and ground plates ready for installation
.
.
Installation, plumbing, and wiring done!
