Fall 2009
The analysis of wide-angle cellular light scattering patterns is a challenging problem. Small changes to the organization, orientation, shape, and optical properties of scatterers and scattering populations can significantly alter their complex two-dimensional scattering signatures. Because of...

Spring 2011
Advanced optical technologies profoundly impact countless aspects of modern life. At the heart of these technologies is the manipulation of light using optical materials. Currently, optical technologies are created using naturally occurring materials. However, a new and exciting approach is to...

Spring 2017
This thesis describes the fabrication and characterization of on-chip dome-shaped, Fabry-Perot microcavities for quantum-optics applications. Arrays of cavities were fabricated via a guided delamination buckling self-assembly process within SiO2/Ta2O5 multilayers. This process results in highly...

Fall 2013
Metal-dielectric thin film multilayers are of significant interest as transparent conductors, band-pass filters, and metamaterials. This thesis describes an experimental study of optical tunnelling through periodic metal-dielectric (MD) multilayers with the goal of optimizing the transmittance...

Fall 2021
This thesis explores theoretical and experimental considerations for the design of refractometric sensors based on optical microcavities for sensing of gases and liquids as well as integrating sphere laser absorption spectroscopy for the detection of greenhouse gases. I discuss highly sensitive...

Spring 2022
Numerous battery technologies have been developed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages which are discussed herein. An emerging form is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), which utilizes vanadium's two soluble redox couples to create a fully liquid state system based off a single...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...

Fall 2020
This thesis describes the design, fabrication and characterization of tunable bandpass filter devices based on optical tunneling. The filters were manufactured from the hybrid assembly of first hemi-cylindrical and later hemi-spherical lenses, with a multi-layer thin-film stack deposited on the...
