• Apply a methodical, patient and accurate approach to all aspects of optical and electrical assembly. • Research new methods to improve optical splicing / coupling efficiency. • Working with software, mechanical, optical and electrical departments to modify custom high power fiber laser platforms to meet customer’s needs. • Routinely working with a variety of optical fiber types, manual and auto cleaving and splicing fibers with single mode to a variety of large core multimode diameters including 7 to1000um core match and mismatched fibers. • Use of Vytran and Fujikura cleavers, Fujikura and Ericsson splicers • Set up and recording of test data from a wide variety of measurement and manufacturing equipment including: optical beam analyzers, oscilloscopes, optical spectrum analyzers, digital multi-meters, optical power meters, fiber fusion splicers. • Visit customers all over the United States for field installation, service and support, phone support • Analysis of optical and electrical schematics, component data sheets, product manuals, manufacturing guides, software manuals. • Troubleshooting of circuits and components, fine pitch soldering. • Writing of many procedures for high power laser construction and test procedures. • Writing of end-user guides and procedures. • Complete final test , calibration and burn-in of high powered lasers. • Training of new technician staff in the high power laser department. All current lead testers trained by myself. Prior to my position of High Power Laser technician III, I first trained and worked on sub-200 Watt optical devices. Here I demonstrated my ability to learn new technologies and showed the required skills and proficiency over many years that singled me out for the more advanced laser position: • Installation and testing of high power laser diode pump sources. • Installation and testing of high power active fiber gain stages. • Installation of electrical control boards • Complete start to finish construction of active optical fiber products. • Calibration and adjustment of electronics and optics. • Performance/Qualification testing of finished optical units. Past experience and familiarity of the following active optical single-mode fiber technologies: • Erbium amplifiers (1W – 50W) • Routinely dealt with specialty products that called for customization of standard optical, electrical and mechanical designs. These involved identifying mechanical and electrical rework requirements.
• Safety Training: Laser, ESD, Health in Workplace, ISO.
