Rotation of polarization in single mode optical fibers and its relation to Berry's Phase

Creator:: Sonawala, Paula
Abstract:: The polarization state of light in a single mode optical fiber may be changed by linear and circular birefringence intrinsic to the fiber or introduced by stress in the fiber due to external pressure, bends or twists. Rotation of polarization may also occur in the absence of any intrinsic or...

Evolution of polarization along a single mode fiber

Creator:: Anders, Juergen
Abstract:: This study investigates the polarization and magnetooptic properties of single-mode fibers. These are important for the development of single-mode fiber applications such as interferometric and electromagnetic field sensors and coherent communication systems, which rely on the polarization state of the light. Various linear, circular and induced birefringence effects cause mode...

Optical and EPR investigations of the photochemistry of KCl:OH

Creator:: Bowen, Robert Clifford
Abstract:: The hydroxide ion as a substitutional defect in KC1 can be photo-dissociated at liquid nitrogen temperature by ultraviolet light. The photochemistry of this system was investigated by EPR and optical absorption methods. Theoretical calculations were also performed in an investigation of the KC1:OH system. The bleaching behavior of photochemically colored...

On admissibility among affine sets of linear estimators

Creator:: Pereira, Clifford Brian
Abstract:: We describe a general finite-dimensional inner product space setting for studying the characterization of admissible linear estimators. We extend the results of LaMotte (1982) and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an estimator to be admissible among an arbitrary affine set of linear estimators when they are compared using quadratic...

Effects of irrigation frequency on yields of winter wheat

Creator:: Nakamura, Brian Clifford
Abstract:: Deliberately underirrigating a crop may yield economic benefits. The optimal use of water by an irrigator should be achieved under a deficit irrigation regime. It is important to know how water deficits affect yields and the interaction of the deficits with the scheduling of irrigations. A field experiment was conducted...

Effects of selected atmospheric variables on the power output of a DOE Mod-2 wind turbine

Creator:: Germain, Alan Clifford.
Abstract:: The effects of selected atmospheric variables on the power output of a DOE Mod-2 horizontal-axis wind turbine are studied. Particular attention is focused on unsteady, nonuniform flow conditions within the rotor disc as represented by vertical profiles measured at adjacent meteorological towers. Primary variables are wind speed, wind direction and...

The use of a high-Rydberg lithium beam and a fine mesh target to probe atom-surface interactions

Creator:: Taylor, Charles Robert, 1956-
Abstract:: A new experimental technique for the study of atom-surface interactions is obtained by passing an atomic beam containing high-Rydberg states through a fine mesh target. The technique is demonstrated to be a sensitive probe of the electric fields of adsorbed dipole layers in transmission experiments in which a time-dependent beam...

A study to determine the need for mathematics inservice training for untrained and trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland, Zimbabwe

Creator:: Makande, Tendekai Don
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine the need for mathematics inservice training for untrained and trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland, Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any professional preparation before entry into the teaching profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics areas needed...
