I had one from a grant review where they said they don't know how to change the deadline in the system so we would just have to ignore the countless emails reminders we will get over the holidays
We have opened an additional PhD position in the emergent Photonics research centre, this one is fully funded and open to all. If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

A fantastic opportunity to join us at Emergent Photonics research centre. Please consider applying if you have an interest in optics and frequency combs.
Here is a very extreme example but shows a heavily misaligned signal for both the hole and without the hole case. Without the hole you still have a correct looking TDS and spectrum but with the hole it's a complete mess.
Imo they became popular as they were used a lot on the big 40mm beamline setups (where they have very little impact and work fine!) but as femtosecond lasers got smaller people kept the habit
you essentially take out the centre of a gaussian beam, and yes also a pain to align as you need align two different fociii
Scales are my bad visualisation, images are normalised to themselves so dynamics in images are clear eo TDS normalises wrt one without hole
