This work reviews a high-speed, direct modulation underwater optical communication link enabled by a combination of polarization and Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) multiplexing techniques that results in a data rate of 12 Gbit/s. An efficient technique for combining and sorting multiple OAM modes is presented based on log-polar coordinate transformation diffractive phase only optics.
This work presents the generation, dynamic phase modulation and phase detection of interfering composite optical vortices. This technique demonstrates a new method for encoding information onto an optical beam for potential use in underwater communication as well as sensing applications including object detection and channel characterization.
This work demonstrates the propagation and dynamic manipulation of composite vortex beams through an underwater turbid environment. These profiles are generated through the coherent superposition of several different optical orbital-angular momentum modes using a 543.5 nm HeNe laser with a coherence length of 58.5 mm. The spatial coherence is maintained after propagation through 0.508 m of water with...
We develop a mathematical model of nanoparticles depositing onto and penetrating into a biofilm grown in a parallel-plate flow cell. We carry out deposition experiments in a flow cell to support the modeling. The modeling and the experiments are motivated by the potential use of polymer nanoparticles as part of a treatment strategy for killing biofilms infecting the deep passages in the lungs. In...
Images obtained during the NEAR spacecraft flyby of 433 Eros in December 1998 reveal a curved object, of a mean size and shape close to those inferred from lightcurve and radar data. The resolution of the images was sufficient to identify landmarks and establish a surface-based coordinate system.
