autocalibrates optical benches at light speed
You simulate optical circuits and calibrate complex laser setups. You also spend your life debugging alignment drift in non-linear crystal assemblies.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still physically troubleshoot why the vibration dampening system is failing at 3am.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
Sensors take over your manual logbook entry tasks for every experiment.
Month 6
AI models handle the bulk of your photonics circuit design simulations.
Month 15
Robotic micro-actuators align your optical benches without needing your hands.
Year 2
Adaptive feedback loops eliminate the need for human observation of temperature drift.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The lab is fully autonomous and no longer requires human oversight or presence.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
