Metasurfaces For Nano-Illumination In Lidar And Lighting Applications, Sehyeon Kim Dec 2021

Metasurfaces For Nano-Illumination In Lidar And Lighting Applications, Sehyeon Kim

Graduate Theses - Physics and Optical Engineering

The development of a non-scanning laser-based imaging lidar system based on a diffractive optical element with potential applications in advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, drone navigation, and mobile devices is reported. The proposed lidar utilizes image processing with homography. The emphasis in the design approach has been on compactness and cost of the final system for it to be deployable both as standalone or complementary to existing lidar sensors, enabling fusion sensing in the applications. This work describes the basic elements of the proposed lidar system. It presents the potential ranging mechanisms, along with their experimental results demonstrating the …


Computer Program Simulation Of A Quantum Turing Machine With Circuit Model, Shixin Wu Dec 2021

Computer Program Simulation Of A Quantum Turing Machine With Circuit Model, Shixin Wu

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Molina and Watrous present a variation of the method to simulate a quantum Turing machine employed in Yao’s 1995 publication “Quantum Circuit Complexity”. We use a computer program to implement their method with linear algebra and an additional unitary operator defined to complete the details. Their method is verified to be correct on a quantum Turing machine.


Distributed Feedback Master Oscillator Power Amplifier Using Interface Polaritons, Dongwon Jang Jun 2021

Distributed Feedback Master Oscillator Power Amplifier Using Interface Polaritons, Dongwon Jang

Graduate Theses - Physics and Optical Engineering

Characterization and simulation of an innovative solid-state distributed feedback master oscillator power amplifier (solid-state DFB MOPA) are presented, using interface polaritons (IPs) that enhance wave propagations at gain-loss interfaces in active layers. The author set up the design of the fabricated device, and a company, Freedom photonics, collaborated with us, allowing me to modify some of their designed MOPA systems. The master oscillator (MO) consists of a patterned grating on a waveguiding region to transfer only a single mode of 1.550 μm wavelength. The power amplifier (PA) is fabricated with the MO to reduce power loss and tapered to amplify …
