3D Phase Imaging of Integrated Optical Devices
Dr. Susanne Ullrich will be hosting Dr. Amy Sullivan of Agnes Scott College this week. Her talk is entitled "3D Phase Imaging of Integrated Optical Devices."
Measurements of three-dimensional (3D) changes in index of refraction are important for material characterization of photopolymers, glass and other optical materials as well as for characterization of fabricated structures such as waveguides in 3D integrated optics systems. I will discuss an imaging system capable of measuring deeply-buried, weak, fabricated index structures. High-fidelity cross sections of these weak index structures are constructed by replicating the structure to be measured to form a diffraction grating. The coherent addition of scattering from each of these objects increases the sensitivity of the imaging system. Measurements are made in the far field, without the use of lenses, which considerably simplifies the experimental set up and allows for imaging through thick samples. These measurements help in the development of new integrated optical devices as well as leading us to a better understanding of how light sensitive materials behave under a variety of illumination conditions.

Departmental Colloquium

Simulating self-assembly with molecular dynamics
This week is a special joint colloquium hosted by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Center for Simulational Physics. Dr. David Landau will be hosting Dr. Dennis Rapaport. The talk is entitled "Simulating self-assembly with molecular dynamics."
The talk describes some of the more fascinating aspects of self-assembly that emerge when a molecular dynamics approach is used. One of the phenomena to be addressed is the role of reversibility in assembly, with emphasis on reduced polyhedral-based models of virus capsids and the examination of the growth histories of individual shells. The other is the occurrence of particle migration in a simplified model for studying micelle growth, where transfer of both solute and surfactant molecules between fully developed clusters can be observed.
