1. Optical metasurfaces for momentum exchange between light and matter
Sammanfattning : Light carries energy and momentum that can be transferred to matter. Because of the conservation of total momentum, a change in light momentum due to interaction with an object must be compensated by an equal but opposite change in the momentum of that object. LÄS MER
2. Magnetoplasmonic nanostructures
Sammanfattning : Surfaces that are nanopatterned, metallic, and magnetic can support surface plasmon resonances, providing an alternative and effective way to reconfigure flat optical components. Utilising a range of near- and far-field characterisation techniques, the optical and magneto-optical properties of lithographically patterned thin magnetic films are investigated. LÄS MER
3. Laser-Induced Incandescence for Soot Diagnostics: Theoretical Investigation and Experimental Development
Sammanfattning : Laser-induced incandescence, LII, is a laser-diagnostic technique that can be used to measure the volume fraction and the sizes of soot particles suspended in a gas, such as within a combustion process or in its exhausts. The technique is based on the facts that the time-decay of the radiation from laser-heated soot particles is directly related to the particle size in the probed volume, and that the time-integrated radiation is related to the soot volume fraction.

4. Liquid Crystals in Guided Wave Optics
Sammanfattning : Liquid crystals are unique optical materials due to their large effective electrooptic and opto-optic coefficients. Currently, liquid crystals are primarily used in flat-panel dis-plays, but there is also an increasing number of nondisplay applications requiring new types of devices employing materials with unique optical properties.
