Johnson contributed to the UChicago-PULSE/mission-documentation repository by developing analytical tools and comprehensive documentation for optical systems and camera noise modeling. He implemented Python scripts and Jupyter Notebooks to analyze signal-to-noise ratios, perform Mueller matrix calculations, and model camera noise, leveraging libraries such as Numpy and Matplotlib. His work included creating reproducible workflows for polarization optics and establishing a single source of truth for optical link budgets, with detailed documentation in Markdown and adoc formats. Johnson’s approach emphasized traceable commits, clear technical writing, and robust analytical methods, resulting in maintainable, reproducible resources that support design reviews and cross-team collaboration.
October 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering a reproducible polarization optics workflow in the mission-documentation repository. Introduced a Jupyter Notebook that performs Mueller matrix calculations, including Poisson distribution cutoff, sampling, and linear interpolation between matrices, and demonstrates applying these functions to compute Mueller matrices and Stokes vectors from sampled values. This work provides a concrete analytical toolkit for downstream data processing and documentation validation.

In August 2025, delivered foundational Optical Link Budget Documentation for the UChicago-PULSE/mission-documentation repository. Established a single source of truth for link budgets, including noise modeling, SNR concepts, and path loss considerations. The effort comprises one initial creation and seven subsequent updates to refine content and align with evolving requirements, enabling clearer design reviews and knowledge transfer. No major bugs were reported; the work focused on robust documentation quality and readiness for cross-team collaboration and future engineering work.
