Development of a noninvasive vasectomy technique may eliminate male fear of complications (incision, bleeding, infection, and scrotal pain) and result in a more popular p[...]

In this Dissertation our work on `enhanced thermally managed packaging of high power semiconductor light sources for solid state lighting (SSL)' is presented. The motivat[...]

Evaluating the structural integrity of curtain walls during the life cycle of a building project can assist architects in developing better designs, inform manufacturers [...]

This research examines the feasibility of machining components with precise tolerances using machines smaller than the completed part. This can conceptually be achieved i[...]

There is wide variability in sexual potency rates (9 - 86%) after nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery due to limited knowledge of the location of the cavernous nerves ([...]

The on-going research and application interests with high power large-mode-area (LMA) waveguide lasers, especially in fiber geometry, at the beginning of this century dri[...]

In this dissertation, we explore a semiconductor optical device configuration based on non-resonant diffraction grating coupler. These devices are coupled with monolithic[...]

The Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) is currently being studied as a potential alternative to the conventional, solid-state Holmium:YAG laser (Ho:YAG) for the treatment of kidne[...]

Kidney stone disease affects approximately 10% of the U.S. population. Conventional Holmium:YAG infrared laser lithotripsy is a standard minimally invasive treatment that[...]

Noninvasive laser therapy is currently limited primarily to cosmetic dermatological applications such as skin resurfacing, hair removal, tattoo removal and treatment of v[...]
