Cavity-enhanced evanescent-wave chemical sensing using microresonators
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to examine fused silica microresonators into which light was evanescently coupled into whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) using a tapered optical fiber. The high ...
Dynamics of kicked laser cooled rubidium atoms
(2006-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to use laser cooling techniques to cool a sample of rubidium 87 atoms and pulse the cold atoms with an off-resonant standing wave of light. Among the objectives ...
Charge storage and transport in metal oxide resistive switching devices
(2022-12)
Metal oxide resistive switching devices are designed and prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and spin coating methods. The electrical and optical characteristics are studied for their applications in memory, ...
New ideas in Higgs physics
(2010-05)
The Higgs mechanism, which is responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking and unitarization of massive W plus or minus and Z scattering, is a fundamental ingredient of the Standard Model (SM). However, there is as yet ...
Structural dynamics of photoactive yellow protein
(2013-07)
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a blue light photoreceptor protein. PYP is a structural prototype of the PAS domain superfamily of regulating and signaling proteins. Upon absorption of a blue light photon, PYP exhibits ...
Space radiation dosimetry: An optically stimulated luminescence radiation detector for low-earth orbit
(2004-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate Al2O3:C as a potential optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation detector for Low-Earth Orbit. The OSL response of Al2O3:C was characterized ...
