WARNING! Attosecond state-resolved carrier motion in Quantum Materials with soft X-ray Spectroscopy Research Project being stopped for 8 weeks to find — 1 inch diameter achromatic zero-order quarter waveplate at the wavelength range between 1.200 to 2.300 nm with lambda/4 flatness and Scratch-dig 40–20 or better. — Transforming a bottleneck in the lab into a business opportunity Four years ago, Barbara Buades, the CEO and Co-founder at MEETOPTICS, was working on the lab, doing a PhD in Physics, when she found herself having to stop for 8 weeks to find a specific optical component (1 inch diameter achromatic zero-order quarter waveplate at the wavelength range between 1.200…
