A boundary element method with surface conductive absorbers for 3-D analysis of nanophotonics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Fast surface integral equation (SIE) solvers seem to be ideal approaches for simulating 3-D nanophotonic devices, as these devices generate fields both in an interior channel and in the infinite exterior domain. However, ...
Sub-femtosecond precision timing distribution, synchronization and coherent synthesis of ultrafast lasers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
In this thesis, we present a complete set of techniques for sub-femtosecond measurement, control and distribution of ultrafast optical pulse trains, with respect to pulse timing and phase. First, analytical analysis of the ...
