  • Fiber Bragg grating-tunable diode laser

    Creator:
    Ericksen, Doug
    Abstract:
    Continuously tunable diode laser sources coupled to single-mode fiber are useful sources for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. This paper describes the development and fabrication of such a device. An introduction is given describing applications of tunable lasers and some of the different methods of creating a tunable diode...

  • Fabrication and characterization of thin-film electromagnetic coils and heaters for microchannel applications

    Creator:
    Dehuff, Nicole L.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis involves developing general fabrication processes relevant to the manufacture of two new devices for the Microscale technology Energy and Chemical Systems (MECS) program at Oregon State University. The two MECS devices developed, capture dots and transparent thin-film heaters (TTFHs), require unique process development for successful...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • Distributed temperature sensing with neodymium-doped optical fiber

    Creator:
    Lounsbury, Jimson S.
    Abstract:
    Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are being studied for use as high efficiency power plants in alternative fuel vehicles. To maintain high efficiency the operating temperatures of the membranes in these fuel cells must be closely monitored and controlled. However, the environment inside of the fuel cell is not...

  • Electo-optic characterization of ZnS:Tb ACTFEL devices for probing the hot electron distribution

    Creator:
    Streicher, Keone R.
    Abstract:
    In this report, the optical characteristics of ZnS:Tb AC driven thin-film electroluminescent devices are evaluated. Luminescence at low and room temperature under a constant phosphor field is recorded in order to probe the hot electron energy distribution. Samples fabricated by atomic layer epitaxy and by sputter deposition are investigated and...

  • Grating-tuned external cavity diode lasers

    Creator:
    Falconer, Beate Stephan
    Abstract:
    Diode lasers have many advantages such as small size, high efficiency and small angular dispersion of the collimated beam. However they also have some problems like lack of frequency stability. They can not be tuned in wavelength. An external cavity can solve these problems and decrease the laser linewidth. To...

  • Electro-optic characterization of SrS-based alternating current thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Nevers, Corey A.
    Abstract:
    Two methods of electro-optically characterizing alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are investigated: photo-induced transferred charge (PIQ) and luminescence (PIL), and subthreshold voltage-induced transferred charge (VIQ) techniques. Both techniques provide information related to traps within the phosphor layer. PIQ/PIL experiments monitor the transport of electrons and holes across the phosphor layer...
