  • The optical properties of multi-scale plasmonic structures and their applications in optical characterization and imaging

    Creator:
    Kuhta, Nicholas Anthony
    Abstract:
    The optical response of metallic structures is dominated by the dynamics of their free electron plasma. Plasmonics, the area of optics specializing in the electromagnetic behavior of heterogeneous structures with metallic inclusions, is undergoing rapid development, fueled in part by recent progress in experimental fabrication techniques and novel theoretical approaches....

  • Mode patterns in quadrupole resonator with anisotropic core

    Creator:
    Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with applications of uniaxial anisotropic crystals for microcavity resonators with partially chaotic underlying ray dynamics. We develop an implementation of the scattering matrix formalism, and relate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the scattering matrix to the field distribution of inside the system. Using the developed technique, we...

  • Computational nanooptics in hyperbolic metamaterials and plasmonic structures

    Creator:
    Thongrattanasiri, Sukosin
    Abstract:
    This dissertation concerns several problems in the fields of light interaction with nanostructured media, metamaterials, and plasmonics. We present a technique capable of extending operational bandwidth of hyperbolic metamaterials based on interleaved highly-doped InGaAs and undoped AlInAs multilayer stacks. The experimental results confirm theoretical predictions, exhibiting broadband negative refraction response...

  • Terahertz transmission & spectroscopy of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests

    Creator:
    Maizy, Louis
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I present studies in the field of terahertz [THz] spectroscopy. It covers both the generation and detection of ultra-fast broadband THz pulses, as well as the transmission properties of vertically grown multi-walled carbon nanotube forests [MWCNTs]. We have found that these vertically grown MWCNTs respond strongly to...

  • Liquid-gated carbon nanotube transistor noise sources and sensitivity limits

    Creator:
    Sharf, Tal
    Abstract:
    Low-dimensional electronic materials offer a platform to observe biological processes with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the closest physical analog to an ideal 1D system and can be scaled and integrated into multiplexed electronic circuitry. The molecular structure of a CNT is also biocompatible, making them...

  • Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy of carbon-based and semiconductor nanostructures

    Creator:
    Tomaino, Joseph L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis will cover work that I have completed relating to the field of terahertz (THz) science. My work has consisted of generating tunable, narrowband THz pulses in a table-top optical setup and using both narrow- and broadband THz pulses to study various material systems. Broadband THz pulses were used...

  • Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

    Creator:
    Thompson, Zachary James
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...
