Our project was initially supposed to be an independent laser system that could be used for UV sunscreen absorption testing. We wanted to make our device very easy to use compared to standard dye lasers and solar simulators. We wanted to make it light, cordless, and small. We wanted it to not need bulky dye jet systems, and to sample its own wavelength and power so that the user wouldn't have to. We wanted the dye cavity to be small, simple, swappable, and refillable for when the dye would bleach, or for when the user would want to emit a different wavelength. In the end, we were not able to incorporate much of this design, however. Our system is now a module that one could add to the front of a pre-existing visible laser and use it as a spectroscope, visible-to-UV converter, and sampling power meter. With the UV output, you could test sunscreen absorbance like we initially designed our system to work for. Additionally, anything else you might need a UV laser for, you would have one at the ready.
