  • The construction and computational modeling of a fiber Bragg grating tunable laser diode

    Creator:
    Winz, Michele W.
    Abstract:
    The widespread adoption of wavelength division multiplexing to increase the bandwidth of optical fiber communication systems has provided a major impetus for research on low cost, single-mode, wavelength stable tunable diode lasers for use in optical telecommunications due to the large volume of lasers required. Other applications, such as demodulation...

  • Novel icosanoids from the red marine alga Farlowia mollis

    Creator:
    Solem, Michele Lee
    Abstract:
    Farlowia mollis is a marine red alga that grows in the intertidal region along the coast of Oregon. We began studying the chemistry of this alga after a survey of Oregon seaweeds revealed possibly interesting chemistry and antimicrobial activity in its crude organic extract. Over the past three years the...

  • Experimental Study of Nucleate Boiling Bubble Dynamics and Heat Transfer Enhancement on Printed Bi-functional Surfaces

    Creator:
    David, Michele
    Abstract:
    Boiling heat transfer is studied for its ability to dissipate high fluxes and achieve heat transfer coefficients two orders of magnitude greater than single-phase heat transfer systems. Heater surface enhancement with increased surface area, varied geometry, wettability contrast and micro/nano-structures can further enhance boiling heat transfer performance through bubble nucleation...
