The low numerical aperture multimode fiber project is a detailed fiber design and simulation developed by a team of undergraduate senior students. As such, the inputs were determined through discussion with our project customer, ASML. We are designing a fiber to support ASML’s YieldStar (YS) optics sensor for scanning wafers using white light with the wavelength range of 400 to 1000 nm and another fiber to operate at a wavelength of 1070 nm meant to preheat a mirror for a separate lithography machine.

The goal of VISAIR is to improve upon an existing medical technology Arrayed Imaging Reflectometer (AIR) by illuminating a sample over multiple wavelength and angles of incidence in order to…

This work investigates material birefringence as a means to determine microplastic identity in samples.

Xukun Lin, Michele Cotrufo Abstract This thesis uses an effective zero-index photonic crystal to support superradiance of atoms within it. I show that the emitted power of the atoms depends…
