Title of Internship: Studies in the Institute of Polymers and Organic Solids (I.P.O.S.)

An instrument to convert light from a laser to an electrical current was built and tested in the laser lab. Light was passed through a photo detecting diode, then an operation amplifier, and finally to an electrical wire. The computer program LABVIEW was to interface with all the instruments at one time.
