Air-core microcavities and metal-dielectric filters - building blocks for optofluidic microsystems
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes a study on two optical devices intended to be building blocks for the creation of integrated optical/microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems. First, arrays of curved-mirror dome-shaped microcavities were fabricated by buckling self-assembly of a-Si/SiO2 multilayers. This novel...

Integrated Hollow-Core Microcavity Arrays - Building Blocks for Optical Sensing and Quantum Information
DownloadFall 2017
This thesis describes an experimental and theoretical study of a novel class of air-core microcavities on chips, monolithically fabricated by the controlled formation of delamination buckles within a-Si/SiO2-based multilayer thin film stacks. First, arrays of dome-shaped microcavities were...

Fall 2020
This thesis describes the design, fabrication, morphological overview, optical characterization, and fluid infiltration of ‘open-access’, small mode-volume, and high quality-factor Fabry-Perot micro-cavities in the telecommunication range followed by the simulation of a-Si:H/SiO2-based Bragg...
