Applied Computing Techniques for Holographic Optical Tweezers

Creator:

Gruss, Daniel

Abstract:

Optical tweezers are capable of trapping micron sized particles through the transfer of the momentum of light. These capabilities are expanded through the use of computer controlled holograms for beam shaping. This hologram creation is facilitated through the use of a spatial light modulator, which is a liquid crystal device...

Computing Techniques for Holographic Optical Tweezers By Daniel Gruss A PROJECT submitted
Gravitational Waves and the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and “Lab on a Chip”

Creator:

Gifford, Jessica

Abstract:

Improvements on the charge control measurements of the torsion pendulum, electron gun, and autocollimator system were conducted at the University of Washington in preparation for the fabrication of the final prototype of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector for NASA. One main cause of transient forces on...
