Coherent interference effects and squeezed light generation in optomechanical systems
(2015-12)
My Ph.D dissertation is on the fundamental effects in optomechanical systems (OMS) and their important applications. The OMS are based on the possibility of the mechanical motion produced by few photons incident on the ...
Optical studies of GaN-based light emitting structures
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The optical properties of group-III Nitrides were systematically studied over a temperature range of 10 to 300 K. A large variety of light sources including femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond ...
Calculation of coupling between tapered fiber modes and whispering-gallery modes of a spherical microlaser
(2004-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Coupled-mode theory is used to numerically calculate the coupling coefficients between modes of a tapered fiber and those of a fused-silica microsphere. The coupling coefficients are used to ...
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 ...
Assessing the effectiveness of the HBL pedagogy
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: An exploratory set of studies was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the HBL and PBI pedagogies. During two different semesters (fall 2003 and spring 2004), 83 Oklahoma State University ...
Theoretical studies of excited state electron transfer between iron-porphyrin and trinitrotoluene
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to find and better understand the degradation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) by way of the photocatalyst iron-tetraphenyl-porphyrin-sulfonate (FeTPPS) by looking at a ...
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 ...
