MULTI-PHOTON TOLERANT QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOLS FOR SECURED GLOBAL COMMUNICATION
(2017-07)
This dissertation investigates the potential of multi-photon tolerant protocols for satellite-aided global quantum key distribution (QKD). Recent investigations like braided single-stage protocol and the implementation of ...
WIND TURBINE CLUTTER IN WEATHER RADAR: CHARACTERIZATION AND MITIGATION
(2014-05)
With the rapid growth of the wind power industry, many commercial utility-scale wind turbines have been built across the country. These extremely large man-made structures are reported to have negative impact on nearby ...
Microwave Electrometry with Rydberg Eletromagnetically Induced Transparency in Vapor Cells
(2016-07-20)
An atom-based approach is presented to detect absolute microwave (MW) electric fields (E-fields). The approach uses Rydberg atoms in vapor cells at room temperature. The MW E-field measurements utilize a bright resonance ...
Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Lithium Ion Composite Cathodes
(2014-08-13)
Batteries are sought that can deliver high energy density and high power density over thousands of cycles, with minimum environmental impact and cost. Invariably no one material can achieve all of these requirements. Lithium ...
GROWTH OF WIDE BANDGAP SEMICONDUCTORS USING PULSED ELECTRON BEAM DEPOSITION (PED) PROCESS
(2015)
Wide bandgap materials hold a great potential in solid state lighting, power electronics, and radio frequency (RF) device applications. The cumulative market for all these applications is forecasted to be approximately $75 ...
III-V and Thin Film Photovoltaics for Extraterrestrial Application
(2019)
Photovoltaic power is one of the few options available for electrical devices stationed outside of our atmosphere. As the satellite market turns to smaller satellites based on the CubeSat and SmallSat form factor, these ...
