ABSTRACTAJITH RAMESH: Modeling the creep behavior of torsional springs This dissertation presents a detailed model of the `overall' behavior of Torsional springs. Torsion[...]

Self-collimation is a dispersion property of many photonic crystals (PCs), in which light beam can propagate free of divergence in the PCs. While self-collimation is a de[...]

Non-null interferometry offers a viable alternative to traditional interferometric testing of aspheric micro-lenses since computer generated holograms or null optics whos[...]
