Souza: Why your New Year’s resolutions don’t stick

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • January 27, 2025

The laser bay of Colorado State University’s Laboratory for Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics Oct. 29. The bay is where the laser passes through several stages, with mirrors and crystals at each stage that shape and refine the laser as it goes, until it eventually comes out in the chamber where researchers can conduct experiments. Ghassan Zeraouli, a post-doctoral staff scientist at the lab, explained that the laser operates at about ten pulses per second. “We take those ten pulses, and we stretch them in time so that we can amplify them,” he said. “We start with smaller pulses, with less energy, and we use another laser to amplify those little pulses. The laser can be amplified in different stages.”

Bisant: Don’t be discouraged if keeping your grades up is a battle
