k-Space hosted the Dexter High School AP calculus students for it’s annual “Calculus is Great” field trip day. Teacher Dewey Scott brought his three AP Calculus classes over to get a tour of k-Space and to see how we utilize calculus to make measurements with our products. Examples included finding the band edge position in diffuse reflectance spectra, and determining film thickness from analyzing spectral interference fringes.
Professor Roy Clarke of the University of Michigan Physics Department made a special appearance to discuss solar panels and increasing their efficiency. k-Space has significant business in solar panel metrology. Thank goodness (and Isaac Newton) for calculus!
