Passive and active cooling of cavity optomechanical torque sensors for magnetometry applications
DownloadFall 2019
Cavity optomechanics, the study of mechanical effects from resonant light, has recently shown remarkable sensitivities in displacements and forces (torques) --- which opened up new avenues for scientific and technological developments. One of the interesting prospects of cavity optomechanics...

Rheology of Bitumen at the Onset of Asphaltene Aggregation and its Effects on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsion
DownloadFall 2015
Asphaltenes are the heaviest fraction of bitumen. Asphaltenes not only play an important role in the high viscosity of bitumen but also in the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stability. Nevertheless, their exact function in the stability mechanism of W/O emulsion still remains unresolved. It is...

The field of plasmonics has offered the promise to combine electronics and photonics at the nanometer scale for ultrafast information processing speeds and compact integration of devices. Various plasmonic waveguide schemes were proposed with the potential to achieve switching functionalities and...

Strategies for Design and Fabrication of Nanoplasmonic Metasurfaces with Extreme Geometric Features
DownloadFall 2022
The ever-increasing integration density of optical components has pushed engineers and physicists to rethink the fundamentals of bulky dielectric lensing systems. Metasurfaces, which are two-dimensional, periodic arrays of metallic (plasmonic) or dielectric scatterers that exhibit exotic...
