Characterization Of Pollen Particles Using Lidar, Leda Sox Oct 2010

Characterization Of Pollen Particles Using Lidar, Leda Sox

Graduate Student Posters

We have observed pollen in the local troposphere using the depolarization capabilities of a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system. The polarization characteristics of the received LIDAR signal, along with supplemental pollen forecast data, allowed me to characterize the shape of the pollen particles.


The Vacuum Excitation And Squeezing Properties Of Two Quantum Oscillators With Delta-Kicked Interactions, J Y. Ji, David Peak Apr 2001

The Vacuum Excitation And Squeezing Properties Of Two Quantum Oscillators With Delta-Kicked Interactions, J Y. Ji, David Peak

All Physics Faculty Publications

The vacuum excitation and squeezing of two harmonic oscillators with delta-kicked interactions for four types of elementary coupling are studied. The exact quantum motion for the Heisenberg operators and the explicit form of squeezing operators are found. The variances are calculated to study the squeezing properties for position, momentum and generalized quadrature operators.
