Title: Second- order statistical properties of conjugate mode double-H partially coherent beams in turbulence
Author: Gbur, Greg, Yu, Jiayi, Cai, Yangjian, Lin, Rong
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Optics
Description: We present an analysis of the propagation properties of a recently introduced class of conjugate mode partially coherent beams (called double-H beams) in a turbulent atmosphere using the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral. We investigate how the ph...

Title: Manufacturing Methodologies and Optomechanics for Dynamic Freeform Optics
Author: Gurganus, Dustin
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Optics, Engineering, Mechanical engineering
Description: Freeform optics have traversed the gap from theoretical to practical application propelled by ultra-precision multi-axis machining, like diamond turning and milling. Utilized for complex infrared sensors to human vision correction, freeform optics...

Title: Implementation and Evaluation of Optical and Stylus Based Profiling Techniques for Surface Metrology
Author: Arumugam, Kumar
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Optics
Description: A unifying theme of this thesis is the implementation and characterization of point probes for surface metrology. The implementations include two optical non-contact profiling methods; fiber-based Fabry-Perot interferometry, and confocal microscop...

Title: High order plasmonic vortex generation based on spiral nanoslits
Author: Gbur, Greg, Yu, Jiayi, Fang, Jing, Cai, Yangjian
Date Created: 2021
