Characterization and modeling of relative luminescence efficiency of optically stimulated luminescence detectors exposed to heavy charged particles
(2007-10)
Scope and Method of Study: This work investigates the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) response of carbon-doped aluminum oxide Al2O3:C detectors exposed to heavy charged particles (HCPs) with energies relevant to ...
Active Tissue Equivalent Dosimeter: Development of a dosimeter for the International Space Station
(2018-07)
A Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC) named the Active Tissue Equivalent Dosimeter (ATED) has been developed to measure absorbed dose from radiation on the International Space Station (ISS) and at aviation altitudes ...
Thermoluminescence temperature sensing: An investigation of methodological and practical limitations of the technique
(2018-05)
Scope and Method of Study: This work had three primary goals. The first was to investigate the validity and accuracy of the initial rise method and the two-dimensional deconvolution method in their application to complex ...
Quantum interference and decoherence effects in novel systems
(2009-12)
In this thesis we studied quantum interference and decoherence effects in systems like atoms, ions, quantum dots and photonic waveguides. These systems are presently widely studied in different areas of quantum optics and ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency and quantum effects in optomechanical systems
(2011-12)
In this thesis, we study cooling, normal mode splitting, squeezing, entanglement, and electromagnetically induced transparency in the macroscopic optomechanical system. We show that a type I optical parametric amplifier ...
2D TEM-mode THz quasioptics
(2005-05)
Scope of Study: The purpose of this study was to develop a two-dimensional wave guiding structure incorporating quasioptical mirrors, lenses, diffractive elements, sources and detectors for ultrafast pulses of THz radiation. ...
Quantum imaging and sensing with entangled photons
(2008-07)
This dissertation contains new theoretical work on how to utilize the entangled photons produced in a parametric down conversion to improve resolution and sensitivity in quantum interferometry, magnetometry and lithography. ...
Anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking and nonstandard neutrino oscillations
(2005-07)
Scope and Method of Study: In this thesis, we propose four different scenarios that solves the tachyonic slepton mass problem of Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB). We also address the question of neutrino ...
