Using measures of emotions to improve work climate, products and decisionmaking
Individual emotions can be measured and interactive patterns of emotions can be interpreted to provide insights about the emotional state of individuals. This article describes the merger of two disparate methodologies, one which provides the means for measuring emotions and another which provides for analysis of the complex patterns of emotions to produce meaningful interpretations. Traditionally, measures of emotions have been used in clinical settings for therapeutic purposes. In this paper we explore the use of measures of emotions for business purposes. Specifically we provide examples of how information about an individual’s emotions can be used to improve organizational climate, improve product design, and improve decision-making.decision-making, measuring emotions, nonlinear, product design.

Power scalable TEM(oo) CW Nd: YAG laser with thermal lens compensation
We present finite-element analyzes and experimental results to validate our approach for building high-power single-mode Nd:YAG lasers. We show that the thermooptical and thermomechanical properties of a slab laser can be controlled. This is essential for the use of the proposed unstable resonator. We include demonstration of an efficient subscale laser operating at 20 W TEM00.D. Mudge, M. Ostermeyer, P. J. Veitch, J. Munch, B. Middlemiss, D. J. Ottaway and M. W. Hamilto

Compensation of Strong Thermal Lensing in High Optical Power Cavities
In an experiment to simulate the conditions in high optical power advanced
gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO, we show that strong thermal
lenses form in accordance with predictions and that they can be compensated
using an intra-cavity compensation plate heated on its cylindrical surface. We
show that high finesse ~1400 can be achieved in cavities with internal
compensation plates, and that the cavity mode structure can be maintained by
thermal compensation. It is also shown that the measurements allow a direct
measurement of substrate optical absorption in the test mass and the
compensation plate.Comment: 8 page
