Research journal

Today I refined my single-shot set-up. Everything is up except beam.

I should study today but I didn't.

I spend my last hour on mindmapping. Can't get the effect I want. I think I need to draw them on paper.

Mindmapping is good, I saw somebody using it to give a overview of optics. An inspiration to me. Too many things can be done and study too.

I will work on what Prof tell me to do first. And then do the study. And read the paper. Do a lot of visualization and try to explain to somebody( even in your mind!).

I am not sure whether I want to take molecular alignment as my long term thesis topic. I hope I can do some plasmonics.

Book to study: AMO, nonlinear, Thz, femto.

夏夜晚風

夏夜裡的晚風 吹拂著妳在我懷中
        妳的秀髮蓬鬆 纏繞著我隨風擺動
        月亮掛在星空 牽絆著妳訴情衷
        有妳味道的風 就是我還在等待的愛

        一個夏夜晚風的愛
        一顆寂寞的心的愛
        一個還在等待的愛

        不知道怎麼搞的 最近老是做這個夢
        可能是我癡情 或者是我太笨
        總之 夢很美 妳也很美
        只是 我還在等

        燈火閃著餘波 隨著妳的呼吸移動
        妳說妳想入夢 我的臂窩有妳的夢
        將妳輕輕捧起 讓妳在我耳邊細語
        夏夜的風有妳 就是我還在等待的愛


想抱你。

一個還在等待的愛

Research journal

I make the autorcorrelator at the morning.

I read materials on molecular alignment.

My working in the morning is good. Gain more experience on optics set-up.

Theory reading in the afternoon is not good.

First, I easily lost my concentration. Reasons? The material is hard. I need to study more basic stuff first. Then I just spent my time browsing.

Conclusion: Study atomic and molecular physics. Start from basic. I need to follow my calendar schedule more rigidly.

读诗

  WHEN YOU ARE OLD Yeats
  
    WHEN YOU ARE OLD AND GREY AND FULL OF SEELP
    AND NOODING BY THE FIRE,TAKE DOWN THIS BOOK
    AND SLOWLY READ,AND DREAM KF THE SOFT LOOK
    YOUR EYES HAD ONCE, AND OF THEIR SHADOWS DEEP;
  
    HOW MANY LOVED YOUR MONMENTS OF GLAD GRACE,
    AND LOVED YOUR BEAUTY WITH LOVE FALSE OR TRUE,
    BUT ONE MAN LOVED THE PILGRIM SOUL IN YOU,
    AND LOVED THE SORROWS OF YOUR CHANGING FACE;
  
    AND BEDING DOWN BESIDE THE GLOWING BARS,
    MURMUR,A LITTLE SADLY,HOW LOVE FIED
    AND PACED UPON THE MOUNTAINS OVERHEAD
    AND HID HIS FACE AMID A CROWD OF STARS
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  当你老了
    
    袁可嘉译
    
    当你老了,头白了,睡意昏沉,
    炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
    慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
    回想它们昔日浓重的阴影;
    
    多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰,
    爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心,
    只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
    爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹;
    
    垂下头来,在红光闪耀的炉子旁,
    凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝,
    在头顶的山上它缓缓踱着步子,
    在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。

事業

最近常會想著事業的問題。
說說自己的情況。老板是助理教授,剛起步。發過nature,感覺是會會進步的。
如果我在五年內畢業,就不需要煩惱老板沒有tenured的問題。
畢業后,找工作可能會因為老板不是牛人的影響。
可是這研究是我感興趣的。

Landau said: No one should work for fame and money, work for it own sake.

如果你有能力,你還是會被賞識的。

了解

不是擁有多少書
不是擁有多少cd

而是讀了多少書
聽了多少音樂

讀了書
聽了音樂后
又有多少領悟,感受

這才是最重要的。

make sense of what you encounter.
