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...

Whispering gallery modes in layered microspheres: mode structure, thermal response, and reactive sensing
DownloadFall 2014
This thesis focuses on the physics of the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of silica microspheres coated with a layer of fluorescent silicon quantum dots (Si QDs). The basic theory associated with these structures was explored, and we showed how the important physical parameters such as the...
