Fall 2019
Nanoscale optical and mechanical resonators store energy in a way characterized by a sharp resonance frequency, and through interaction with their surroundings offer a path to the next generation of sensitive measurement tools. In this thesis we investigate a particular geometry of nanofabricated...

Single photon emitters hosted in hexagonal boron nitride have attracted significant attention over the past 5 years. This is in part due to their room temperature operation, chemical and physical stability, and high quantum efficiency. Continuous hexagonal boron nitride thin films (~ 10 – 20 nm...

This thesis describes the theory, fabrication, and characterization of on-chip, integrated Fabry-Perot microcavities embedded with thin silicon nitride membranes. The approach combines a previously developed process for fabricating self-assembled Si / SiO2 / Ta2O5 curved mirror cavities, with a...

Ultrafast terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is presently the most powerful tool available to materials scientists for directly probing ultrafast conductivity dynamics. Its low center frequency and phase-resolved measurement, which yields sub-picosecond temporal resolution, make it ideally suited for...
