Evaluation of specialty fibers and waveguides for ultrashort laser pulse propagation
(2008-05)
Ultrashort pulse lasers have become invaluable tools in many areas of science and technology. Optical waveguide or fiber delivery of ultrashort pulses would benefit numerous applications that require remote location of the ...
Quantum chaos using delta kicked systems
(2008-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to experimentally study quantum dynamics of systems whose classical dynamics are chaotic. Quantum delta-kicked systems such as kicked rotor and kicked accelerator ...
Development and characterization of remote radiation dosimetry systems using optically stimulated luminescence of Al2O3:C and KBr:Eu
(2008-12)
Scope and Method of Study: To develop and test the performance of two different dosimetry systems; one for in situ, high-sensitivity, inexpensive environmental monitoring, and another for near-real-time medical dosimetry. ...
Determining the effective predictors of performance in a second semester algebra-based physics course
(2008-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This study investigated the significant predictors of exam performance in a second semester algebra-based Physics course. The predictors included course components, ability variables, and behavioral ...
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. ...
