This thesis is about ‘Dual View’ displays. These are displays that can show different images to different people. For example, the driver of a car could view a GPS map, whilst the passenger who looks at the display from a different angle, could watch a movie. This thesis describ…
The use of patterned metallic surfaces for the control of the transmission of microwave radiation has been reinvigorated in recent years due to the success and interest in metamaterial research. These metallic periodic structures, commonly referred to as frequency selective scre…
This thesis describes a number of studies of microstructured optical resonators, designed with the aim of enhancing the performance of organic semiconductor lasers and exploring potential applications. The methodology involves the micro-engineering of the photonic environment in…
A nondestructive high energy (60 keV ) x-ray diffraction method to measure the internal strain depth-profile in materials was developed using a standard 320 kV p laboratory x-ray source. Traditional x-ray strain measurements are limited to few microns of depth due to the limited…
The focus of our study is on the effect of the surface's corrugation and vibration on diffraction mediated selective adsorption (DMSA). In DMSA the normal translational energy of the atom is converted into motion parallel to the surface. For a rigid surface, this occurs at speci…
The natural formation of the rainbow is one of the most important and widely studied optical phenomena throughout history. Its creation is due to a process of refraction, and an underlying wave interference that is not commonly discussed among introductory physics texts. I have …
Unsteady shock waves are formed by the coalescence of pressure waves. The attenuationof pressure and shock waves in general is of great importance in a wide varietyof application such as vehicle performance, health and safety. Previous researcheshave been carried out on a variet…
This book provides the reader with the broad range of materials that were discussed in a series of short courses presented at Georgia Tech on the design, fabrication, and testing of diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Although there are not long derivations or detailed methods …
