Title: Displacement Scale Based on Speckles
Author: Farsad, Mahsa
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Optics
Description: Speckle patterns are complex intensity distributions, which occur when an optically rough surface is illuminated with a coherent light. The speckle phenomenon was known to be troublesome when the laser was first introduced, but later it was discov...

Title: MANAGEMENT OF OPTICAL ABSORPTION IN PLASMONIC METAMATERIALS
Author: Alisafaee, Hossein
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Electromagnetism
Description: In this dissertation, the main focus has been on the manipulation of optical absorption. That is to either decrease the unwanted losses or increase the desired absorption for specific applications. The approaches have been chosen to provide insigh...
