Laser Harp Without Mechanical Strings

Discipline: Interdisciplinary

Advisor: Chung Yong Chan

The Laser Harp that we are constructing is frameless; using a toggling laser diode and a stepper motor with a mirror mount, individuals strings will be produced. If the strings are interrupted, a photodiode will detect and, produce a voltage that will be measured and a musical note will be played. We seek to make an instrument that is portable and easy to use. This will hopeful cheaper that other laser harps. Our laser Harp could be used by musicians, and performers, or be use as a for STEM outreach (classrooms, museums, maker fairs).
